Our courses specifically cover these two major areas for concern:
Management of Occupational Road Risk
Does your company have a fleet of 5 or more vehicles?
This includes employees using their own vehicles to carry out company tasks (Grey Fleet vehicles).
Do you have a 'Management of Occupational Road Risk' strategy?
The Corporate Manslaughter Act 2007 (Corporate Homicide in Scotland) and as of January 2009 the Health and Safety (Offences) Act 2008 increase the accountability of managers for the safety of their workforce whilst behind the wheel. Both carry a hefty custodial and financial penalty if individuals are found to be negligent in regard to their companies Management of Occupational Road Risk.
In the unfortunate event of an accident causing death or injury, failure to show that companies have provided appropriate risk assessment and driver training, backed up by a robust audit trail may result in legal action being taken against managers who have failed to provide appropriate training.
Never before has the application of Health and Safety at Work had such a high profile. With several recent and high profile incidents reflecting the dangers encountered whilst at work never before has so much attention been paid to the wellbeing and safety of employees whilst in the execution of their delegated tasks.
Personal Safety Training
Do your staff deal with situations where their personal safety may be threatened?
Are they trained in identifying potential conflict situations at the earliest stage?
Are they able to diffuse situations where their personal safety may be put in danger?
Our courses will increase your staff's confidence in the day to day aspects of their work when dealing with the public. Workers will have an enhanced understanding of personal safety issues and be prepared to deal with difficult, or threatening, situations should they arise.
There will also be a focus on the importance of adhering to local procedures, guidelines and safety systems.
