Events will examine existing health and safety structures in voluntary sector organisations, problems encountered addressing and improving health and safety and how involving workers in health and safety decision making can provide wider benefits for the organisation. The event is targeted at decision makers in voluntary sector organisations, trade union health and safety representatives and other people who can influence change and cascade messages within the voluntary sector. There will be an emphasis on the role of dynamic risk assessment as well as workshops focusing on wellbeing and mental health, violence and aggression and manual handling in home care settings.
These seminars have been organised in partnership between HSE, STUC and the Scottish Centre for Healthy Working Lives. A buffet lunch will be provided. For more information please contact Alsion.newman@health.scot.nhs.uk.
