Safety Management For Board Members

Introduction To Workshop
Safety for Senior Executives aims to ensure that health and safety is appreciated by people at the most senior executive levels The course should enable top executives to review policy and strategies, and, where necessary, introduce changes to make their organisation operate more safely.

Safety for Senior Executives is for people with strategic responsibilities. It is for senior executives who have business imperatives in respect to safety, health and environmental risk management. This workshop will raise innovative and businessfocused solutions to corporate SHE requirements.

The workshop is based on the premise that there can indeed be ‘Too Much Safety’ and instances where corporate bodies have potentially over-resourced their corporate safety effort without realising tangible benefits. The workshop will also challenge a number of the accepted foundations on which the perceived modern approach to safety-related risk management is based.

The intent and objective of the course is to facilitate high-level interaction between delegates and the workshop leader to critically review the current corporate approaches being adopted under the premise of safety, health and environmental risk based decision making.

Issues Covered In The Workshop:
• Critically review corporate organisational approaches to safety, health and environmental risk management.
• Identify the business requirements with regard to SHE related regulatory risk and establishing economic pay-back.
• Establishing the existence of an organisational culture which supports well thought through risk taking with regard to SHE related risk.
• Linking SHE related risk based decision making to the achievement of business objectives.
• The identification and elimination of inappropriate SHE related risk management programmes and identifying pay-back from investment in risk reduction programmes.
• How corporate executives and board members can evaluate the value and contribution to the business effort from internal SHE/Loss Prevention departments.
