Organisations with an embedded safety culture know that safety is every employee's responsibility.
This course bundle supports managers, and those with informal safety roles (such as a fire warden), to understand and deal with work health and safety matters. It includes three popular courses Health and Safety Leadership, Creating a Safety Culture and Understanding Health and Safety Incident Management.
Health and Safety Leadership
A key part of a leadership role is contributing to the strategies for meeting health and safety responsibilities. As workplace leaders, supervisors and managers are in a position to implement the processes designed to meet the health and safety obligations. To do this effectively supervisors and managers must be “Safety Leaders”.
Creating a Safety Culture
What is a safety culture? A workplace culture that promotes safety places a high level of importance on the beliefs, values and attitudes towards safety issues within the organisation. These values must be shared by most staff and put into practice on a daily basis – when this happens, making safety a priority becomes second nature.
Understanding Health and Safety Incident Management
Organisations are responsible for ensuring workers are provided with a safe working environment across all industries and sectors. Therefore, it is important that staff understand their role in responding to incidents and how they can support a safe working environment and culture.
