| Title | Managing Health and Safety Essentials |
| Category | Health and Safety |
| Overview | This hour-and-a-half course is open to all staff members, but is aimed at managers and supervisors, particularly those in areas where there are higher risk activities.
The course covers the University’s legal responsibilities, as set out in the Health and Safety Policy and Code of Practise, and explains what a health and safety management statement is and how to complete it. Participants are also given an overview of support and resources available within the University. A case study is used to help understand what is required of a manager/health and safety lead in the event of an incident and put into context the legal responsibilities.
Please note that all courses are in person at Colchester campus unless stated otherwise.
