Writing and implementing an effective health and safety policy for education sector providers

OVERVIEW

 
 

Ensuring compliance of your health and safety policy with legal, contractual and best-practice obligations.

A health and safety policy should meet a clear commitment to your legal obligations, but it should work within a health and safety strategy that integrates high standards of compliance and quality assurance. This webinar will outline the legal obligations and standards of compliance for yourselves as well as how the policy supports and directs partners and sub-contractors, and specifically learners. It will also advise how your health and safety policy delivers alignment to contractual requirements and meets tendering requirements.

Objectives

This webinar will:

  • Demonstrate how your health and safety policy should meet and reflect the legal requirements of the Health &Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.
  • Show how commitments and arrangements to partners, sub-contractors, and learners should be managed within supporting arrangements.
  • Highlight the wider understanding of compliance and quality assurance.

Target Audience

 
 

The webinar will appeal to any provider of any size. The legal requirement for a written health and safety policy is for those companies that employ 5 or more people. It will also benefit large and diverse organisations with networks and subsidiaries to better understand the wider issues of compliance.
