Can any one suggest a suitable training course for Directors on corporate manslaughter etc. I am aware there is an IOSH course but need to investigate other providers. Many Thanks Paul R

In my personal opinion you get in a successfull barrister or similar for 2 hours max - Directors take note because of their [the barrister's] percieved position and any >2 hour session is a turn off Tune any session to the people present as U will get 1 hit and it must be good as otherwise the H&S update will go like all the others - I bet that directors get in other professionals for the other topics so why not H&S. It also frees U [after U have introduced and rounded up] to get on with other work If U look at this exercise as a course U are on the wrong track this must be a hard hitting marketing; and especially; sales with committment thereafter exercise! Best of luck

I do my own H&S law training for our managers/supervisors including corporate manslaughter. It's just an awareness session of the regs HSAWA etc but to be honest I think corporate manslaughter does waht it says on the box.

I have used the IOSH route in the past and have also enlisted the help of the local HSE principal. The IOSH course was too long and 'stodgy' and almost instantly forgettable (in fairness this was some years ago) The latter was from the horses mouth, used real life worked examples/investigation material, was delightfully entertaining (if not a little scary!) and was essentially free, other than a few cups of coffee. It was IMHO far more effective that the IOSH route.
