The legal requirements placed upon managers are constantly evolving as legislation is amended and repealed. The human, economic and legal consequences of an accident at work or of damage to an employee’s health can be severe for the company and its managers, as well as the employee. The maxim that prevention is better than cure has been the legal position for many years now, and this health and safety training programme is designed to help managers achieve this.
