CITB Director's Role for Health & Safety (DRHS) in Knowsley, Merseyside

The CITB Director's Role for Health & Safety course is aimed at directors and senior managers, with the purpose of recognising the human, economical and financial implications of non-compliance with health and safety legislation. The course provides a summary of how to promote a positive health and safety culture within an organisation. Workshop exercises throughout the day give delegates the opportunity to discuss their thoughts about health and safety and their responsibilities in an open forum.

This is a one-day course, accredited by CITB.

• The principles and importance of the risk assessment process
• Appointing competent health and safety assistance, and the limitations of such an appointment

Who the course is for

This course has been developed for directors and senior managers active in a health and safety strategic role in the built environment, from any organisational size in construction, civil engineering or allied trades. Relevant roles include financial and operations directors, senior and private quantity surveyors, principal designers, senior and principal engineers, company secretaries, contracts managers, senior project managers, and non-executive directors.

Pre-requisites

Delegates must be able to demonstrate either previous completion of a CITB Director's Role for Health and Safety course, or a working knowledge of the following legislation, since the course content and end-of-course assessment require delegates to consider these in the context of a director's role and responsibility:
