Ideas for an Office Line Manager HnS Awareness Course?
Rank: Forum user
|
Hi I’m looking for some ideas for a Health and Safety awareness course I’m delivering to our line managers working in the office. DSE is covered by an on-line system, and we have very supportive senior management who’ll OK most things I’d like such as hands free systems for telephony.
Manual handling is managed through an on line course, there’s not much, we have porters for all the heavy furniture movement PA’s can sometimes be called upon.
I’m mentioning PEEP’s, and care with travelling. We don’t have any drivers, and the grey fleet is so pale as to be non-existent.
Fire and Legionella are managed by the landlords, and a line manager does not need to have to worry about that.
Is there something else I could use to engage this group with Health and Safety apart from the legal responsibilities of employers in general which is something I’ll be covering with a broad brush.
Taking care putting up the Christmas decorations seems a bit contrived and will not get the serious engagement I’m looking for – any ideas.
Thanks as ever for the support this forum offers.

Graham If you check out the link below it may provide some inspiration. Yoy could also consider topics such as slips, trips and falls, electrical safety and fire safety. http://www.hse.gov.uk/office/Ray

Graham, you may want to consider Stress, Bullying and Harassment as topics to include or to link to existing training or policy if already covered elsewhere.
Ray mentions electrical safety, I find that many people seem to be unaware of the need to actually look at electrical cables on portable devices Particularly on shared devices these can be subject to a lot of careless handling and do get damaged.
