1 Day Course

Directors are accountable for the Health and Safety of their business.

The introduction of the Corporate Manslaughter Act in 2007 means that failure to meet your director's responsibilities for health and safety could result in imprisonment. As a director, safety falls within your remit, and the law will therefore hold you accountable for any failings.

Mantra’s one-day course enables you to understand what you need to know about health and safety for directors. Utilising a discussion based approach, Mantra will develop the knowledge required for directors to keep their business safe and healthy.
