Health and Safety Law – a nuisance or a business opportunity?

Covid-19 and the subsequent lockdown created a renewed awareness of workplace health and safety as organisations in various sectors realised that health and safety risks are not limited to big warehouses, factories or plants, but is something that should be accounted for in all work environments.

On top of that, the scope is expanding to include not only physical risks, but illnesses and mental health conditions like stress and anxiety. Organisations who realise that their workforce – their people - is their main resource, are on the right track.

Workplace health and safety requires a robust governance system from the Board downward, including effective auditing, accurate reporting, and continuous improvement of procedures.

This seminar will help you to be on top of your game when it comes to your clients’ health and safety advisory needs. After attending, you will be able to guide your client to implement the necessary health and safety measures as required by the law, your client’s industry specific codes, and general good practice.

What’s more, by being up-to-date on the legal requirements, you can help your client to avoid unnecessary civil and criminal liability effects, penalties and even a jail term.
