Posted By June-bug I'm looking for any interesting, effective ideas of what to include in a training session for senior managers and directors on the importance of their H&S buy in and cascading this buy in from the top down. I already have loads of scare tactic and other ideas (talk about the corporate manslghtr, duty of care, morale, financial etc etc etc) but want something 'lighthearted' yet significant to get them on side. These are high level banker types - so you can imagine - not easy to impress! I bet they've heard all this before too. I want to put them at ease and get a good re-pore with them. They have already made a huge step and accepted the idea of training and I don't want to lose this momentum - a long time coming! I was thinking of giving them an exercise e.g. something like performing a risk assmnt - do you think that sounds too dumb? Just to get them to see why we do what we do and to stress that we are not trying to stop anyone doing anything, but more so just encouraging them to do things safely. They are of the opinion that H&S (like loads out there) is the barrier between them getting what they want! Creative, mad ideas welcome too. Sorry for waffling. PS. not asking for handouts, just advice. Thanks in advance. June the June bug!

Posted By Bob Youel mix and and match [ good /bad areas] as you go through your presentation /training session but remember to always finish on a high and at least the last 15 mins should be all high as thats the last thing the brain remembers e.g. the lase part of anything!
