Course Objectives
Managing
Safely in the Printing Industry is a unique course designed for
managers and supervisors in
printing companies who require a foundation in health and safety
management.
Unlike the standard Managing Safely course provided by other
organisations, this course concentrates
on the issues affecting people working within the Printing
Industry.
Examples used are taken from printing companies and additional topics
of relevance to printing are covered.

are:
- To give delegates an understanding
of the concerns with health and safety and how these may be
realistically controlled.
- To provide delegates with reference
material for use after the course.
- To

sourced and the proactive steps taken by the HSE to provide such
information.

Printing Industry, but the concepts are applicable to all industries.
