Frequently asked questions
This course is for supervisors, team leaders, and frontline managers who influence how work is planned, supervised, and carried out each day. It suits people needing to manage operational demands while keeping health and safety visible, practical, and consistent across their teams.
Supervisors and frontline managers need the knowledge and confidence to manage health and safety within the work they direct.

Yes. This course is available as a public course, through in-house delivery, and live online via Zoom. This gives organisations flexibility to enrol individual leaders in scheduled sessions or deliver training for groups of supervisors within their own workplace context.
The course runs for 1 day, allowing learners to work through leadership responsibilities, hazard and risk management, incident response, and practical ways to lead safe behaviours in everyday work.

That includes why health and safety is managed, key duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, health and safety culture, health and safety management systems, hazard and risk management, incident response and investigation, performance measurement, and leading through values, behaviours, and capability.

Refresher training may be particularly useful when responsibilities change, workplace risks evolve, incidents expose gaps, or organisations want stronger leadership consistency across sites or teams.
