Level 3 Supervising Health & Safety
This Health and Safety qualification ‘Supervising Health & Safety’ is designed for those working in any workplace at a supervisory level. This includes ‘traditional’ supervisors and team leaders, but also anyone who needs a broad understanding of health and safety issues. Among those who would benefit are people who have responsibility for aspects of health and safety either as part of an entire business process or as a proprietor of a small to medium business. Supervisors, owners and managers alike, will find that this programme provides them with sufficient knowledge to carry out their responsibilities effectively.
Course Aim
Health and safety generally involves reducing the risks of accident and ill health associated with work activities, whether they affect employees, employers, the self-employed, visitors or the public. Accidents and illnesses can result in permanent disability or death, as well as short term incapacity for work. The traditional supervisor is in an ideal and responsible position to influence and monitor the training needs of employees. In addition they can also impact on policies of managers by being well informed, persuading and encouraging where appropriate, for better health and safety standards. A supervisor has a legal and moral responsibility to look after the health and safety of employees, but needs to have the knowledge and skill to be able to do this effectively. This training programme provides an opportunity to look more closely into general health and safety from a supervisory perspective and successful candidates will be able to help their organisation, whatever the size or activity, to improve the internal health and safety culture. In addition Supervising Health & Safety is an ideal development stage for those considering future progression to the CIEH Level 3 Advanced Health & Safety Certificate.
