This session will bring you back up to speed with these and many other changes that have taken place recently, as well as highlight changes we need to be aware of for the future. . At the end of the session there will also be the opportunity to gain answers to your own health and safety issues and other related questions you may have.

Risk Assessment

2.00pm - 4.30pm

Although it is a legal requirement in its own right, an organisations risk assessment is something that is often neglected. Sometimes its time, sometimes its lack of understanding exactly what is required, for whatever reason they are often not completed at all or completed badly. . This session will show you how a risk assessment can easily be completed and not remain an onerous task whether you are starting from scratch or building on an existing one.
