Behaviour Change: Improving Health and Safety Performance

The Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL), an agency of HSE is holding a one-day training course on behavioural safety as a route to improved H&S performance. 

The event takes place on Thursday 18th March 2010 at HSL’s state of the art laboratory in the spa town of Buxton, in the heart of the Peak District. 

Course described

“Even with the best plans, procedures and systems in place, individuals at work do still take short cuts and make mistakes. To individual workers, such risk taking can result in injury, ill-health and fatalities. To the organisation, some of the many costs can include lost time, damage to machinery, litigation, and prosecution. 

The course, delivered by HSL psychologists, will provide you with an understanding as to why workers take risks, covering the many factors that influence behaviour.

The course will be most appropriate for health and safety managers, but will also be relevant to senior management with an interest in how their leadership can influence health and safety.

The cost of the one-day course is £395 + VAT (to include course notes, lunch and refreshments). 

To book and for more information the visit the website or contact HSL by e-mail at training@hsl.gov.uk or by telephone on 01298 218806″
