BTEC Level 3 Advanced Award in Risk Management & Assessment

The Main Aims of the Course are:

The overall aim of this course is to enable you to understand the basis of undertaking competent risk assessments and acquire the knowledge and practical skills to improve professional competency in carrying out general risk assessments and more specific violence at work risk assessments under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

Why Do This Course?

Failure to undertake a suitable and sufficient assessment of risk in the workplace can now lead to increased fines and even imprisonment should a serious injury or death occur through negligence. Under the New Corporate Manslaughter Act 2007 and the New Health and Safety Offences Act 2008 companies prosecuted for risk management failures that led to serious injury or death can face unlimited fines - starting at a minimum of no less than £500,000.00. Therefore, this could possibly be the best investment you make when you consider the potential saving you could be making!

Recent Prosecutions for Failing to Do A Risk Assessment

There are many prosecutions of organisations for failing to undertake a risk assessment and you can see a few of them on the news section of our web-site at: http://www.nfps.info/news

Course Content

On Day 1 the course will cover the basic principles of how to undertake a risk assessment in line with current Health & Safety legislation and guidance. Delegates will also apply the knowledge and skills in a classroom-based project work activity that will be assessed and marked for competence.

To aid you we will provide you with template forms that we have created to save you having to go away and design and develop anything yourself.
