The Sector Risk Profile puts health and safety at the top of the agenda, where it should be. Is this reflected in your Board? Does your Board understand its responsibilities? How to get assurance from the Executives and how to lead from the top on this vital subject? If you or your Board are unsure on any of these areas then this course if for you.
With the Regulator stating that Boards are ultimately responsible for ensuring the health and safety of their tenants and staff, and that they must have appropriate controls in place to ensure compliance with all their health and safety responsibilities.
Our interactive session will cover:
What a Board Member needs to know about Health and Safety
We will review the broad risk profile within the sector, and then focus on some key health and safety risks in the Housing Sector including Fire, Asbestos, Legionella, Electrical, Gas, Lifts, Lone Working, Work at Height, Health and Wellbeing matters and your statutory and regulatory obligations relating to these health and safety risks.
What are the Board’s responsibilities?
We will look at what your responsibilities are as Board Members, how you can demonstrate effective commitment to health and safety and lead from the top. We will look at practical ways in which you can demonstrate your commitment and we will also explore the key elements of an effective health and safety strategy.
How do you gain assurance on Health and Safety
We will explore how you gain assurance that the key health and safety risks are being effectively managed. We will look at the three lines of defence and the Board and the Executive team’s role in receiving assurance. We will look at practical ways in which you challenge health and safety concerns and we will look at how you can develop and monitor effective health and safety performance metrics. We’ll also reflect on the relationship between safety, compliance and assurance.
Delivering the RIGHT Health and Safety Culture
Finally we will look at how you can help drive the right health and safety culture within your organisation. We will explore what a good health and safety culture looks like and what a poor health and safety culture looks like and give you some tools and techniques to help achieve the right health and safety culture within your organisation.
