Management of Occupational Road Risk and Personal Safety Training
Meerkat Risk Management specialise in handling specific areas of concern with our tailor made inter-personal courses and packages which can be focussed to meet your needs.
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).
Do you have a 'Management of Occupational Road Risk' strategy?
The Corporate Manslaughter Act 2007 (Corporate Homicide in Scotland) increases the accountability of managers for the safety of their workforce whilst behind the wheel.
In the event of an accident, failure to show that you have provided 'Risk Assessment' and 'Driver Development Training' with an effective audit trail may result in legal action being taken against the head of the company.
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.
Vital areas of concern for many years have been the application of guidelines for employees driving whilst at work and also those employees working in and around areas where often irascibe, stressed and volatile individuals may be encountered.
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.
