Abstract

It is easy for managers to push safety to one side, leaving it to look after itself. But ignoring safety can be costly, if not fatal. “Too few middle managers face up to their safety responsibilities,” says Jean Reynolds who runs RoSPA's occupational safety training centre in Acocks Green, Birmingham. “Managers have a lot to contribute to the safety of their workforce through enthusiasm and leadership but they need a good background knowledge too.” That knowledge can be obtained from a two day seminar called Safety is Your Responsibility, organised by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. The seminar gives plenty of opportunity for managers to take part in the discussions and there are case exercises for practical guidance. Attendance at the seminar on 3 and 4 November costs £75.
