Course Description

As a matter of law every business, having more than 5 persons employed, requires to complete a written risk assessment for every area of its operations. In practice, more often than not, such assessments must be reduced to writing by every business. Having completed the assessment its significant findings must be intimated to employees. All too often businesses do not comply, or do not comply fully, with this requirement. It need not be a massive chore.

Target Student

Owners/managers who have a responsibility for staff management.
