CIEH2 - Risk Assessment Principles & Practice One Day Workshop
Risk assessment is a fundamental process for ensuring Health and Safety in the workplace. It is probably the most successful tool that a manager responsible for safety can possess. However, the wealth of legislation facing employers and the self-employed has caused confusion and concern; much mystery has been built around the process of Risk assessment.
Delegates completing this CIEH accredited one-day workshop will gain an insight into how Risk Assessment can be made easier if undertaken using a logical and systematic approach. This one-day workshop is combined with a practical assignment, which counts towards the award of a CIEH Certificate.
