Free one day events are being held across the UK between March 2007 and March 2008. Primarily intended for further and higher education, these events will also be suitable for local authority health and safety advisers for schools.
The aim of the day is to equip you with the skills you need to assess the risks of slipping and tripping and to take action to control them. (see sample agenda below for more information)
If you are a facilities or estates manager, a health and safety manager, a local authority school health and safety advisor, in charge of cleaning and catering, or a union health and safety representative, this event will be of use to you.
We need easy to reach venues around the UK to hold the events.
