Course overview
Everyone has the right to work in a safe environment. And the health and well-being of staff while they’re at work needs to be a priority for all employers and employees. But unfortunately, over 2 million people die every year from work-related accidents or illnesses. And even more are seriously injured.
Employers and managers have a duty of care to make sure all employees are safe from harm while they’re at work. Understanding their responsibilities toward the people they manage will allow your managers to ensure nobody gets hurt. Ensuring staff are safe also has benefits for the organization, as safer working environments improve overall staff productivity and reduce the number of absences.
