One Day
Training Course
NSAI offers public courses
to help individuals gain the skills that they require to operate
management systems effectively. The range of courses offered reflects
the wide range of certification services offered by NSAI.
Irrespective of whether a company is involved in manufacture
or is a service organisation, it has a statutory obligation - under
the Safety Health and Welfare at Work Act, 2005 - to operate in
a manner which safeguards the health and safety of its workforce.
|
This one-day course will enable participants to assess the
implications of the Act and its associated regulations and
to understand what their responsibilities for complying with
the Act are.
The course will address the implications of the Act for
employees and employers in terms of increased obligations
for safety, increased powers for the HSA and substantially
increased penalties for breaches of the legislation. The Act
carries penalties of up to €3million and prison sentences
of up to 2 years for those breaking the law.
