Full Day Workshop

Employees (and employers!) may be stressed but now know it. How do you spot the signs of stress so that you can make an early intervention? This extensive workshop examines why Health & Safety is important, particularly in the context of Stress and Bullying in the workplace and highlights the role of the Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures? This workshop also looks at how to prepare for a visit from the Health and Safety Authority and how to set up a Safety Management System in the Workplace. We will look at; the Safety Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the General Workplace Regulations 2007; Health and Safety Authority Code of Practice on Workplace Bullying; as well as the Employment Equality Acts 1998-2004, using a number of case studies on Workplace Stress and Bullying.
