This course is essential for anyone new to the role of office or facilities manager and those with specific responsibilities for ensuring the safety of the building(s) that the business operates from.
There is a legal obligation upon businesses to ensure that staff are safe, healthy and well at work, which includes the need to ensure that certain tasks are carried out on a regular basis. If you have been tasked with ensuring that your business meets the legal requirements of staying compliant with Standards such as ISO 14001 (environmental) or ISO 45001 (health and safety) this is an essential training event for you.
This course has been designed to give office managers and facilities professionals the essential information they need to understand what is required of them and the skills to carry out the vital tasks. It will provide practical guidance on what their organisation needs in place, and give them the knowledge and confidence they need to succeed in their role.
