There will also be a much greater emphasis on monitoring, auditing and reviewing, which is learned through two practical case studies

Who should attend?

Delegates who have already completed the full Managing safely course.

Course Content

The training will comprise of five areas for delivery namely:

Thinking back – A personal reflection from delegates on what they took away from the full Managing safely course and a discussion on what each delegate wants to get from the Refresher course. Delegates will also revisit the key reasons for managing safely in an engaging and participative way.
Refreshing your knowledge – Through an interactive quiz and group discussion, delegates will refresh their knowledge of the key learning points from the full Managing safely course.
Building on what you know – Delegates will learn why leadership and management is important, their role in influencing managing safely, changes to legislation that affect them, how you can work with the Plan, Do, Check and Act model, and why effective communication is essential.
Putting managing safely into practice – Carrying out a site audit – this practical part of the course will see delegates working in pairs or small groups to review and comment on monitoring checklists based on the operations of a real business, to help them understand why monitoring and reporting are important parts of an organisation’s safety and health arrangements.
Applying the management system – This focuses on the Plan, Do, Check and Act model – looking specifically at what controls need to be put in place, how you’ll get key players on board, keeping staff up to date with developments, checking progress and identifying any issues, and assessing the overall success of your plan and lessons learned.
