Coupled with increased pressures on resources, local authorities now need to be smarter when fulfilling their HSW S18 responsibilities. Increasingly, officers who have little experience in regulating health and safety are being asked to include this role in their day to day work. Using case studies, practical examples and discussion this session seeks to equip officers with the basic tools needed to regulate health and safety. Delegates will discuss various scenarios and work together to tackle common and relevant issues that they may face. Areas covered include: Principles of health and safety enforcement Access to information/guidance The National Local Authority Enforcement Code, application, relevance and implementation at a local level Enforcement Allocation Use of Inspectors powers Interventions, inspections and complaints Outline of health and safety regulatory framework and key legislation Making decisions and the using the EMM Service of notices Accident investigation refresher Like all of Bespoke Safety training, this will be a very interactive day requiring participation from all delegates. Delegates pack will be provided with a set of presentation slides. This is genuine low cost training. Day long sessions can be run for as low as £60/delegate Please contact me to discuss this or any other health and safety training needs. Andy Lucas MSc CMCIEH CMIOSH
