• Module 3: Corporate Manslaughter
  This module will introduce trainees to corporate manslaughter where companies and organisations can be prosecuted due to a serious management failure resulting in a gross breach of a duty of care towards their employees.

  This module will expand on some of the common causes of accidents in the workplace and how they can be prevented.  These are: Fire, Electricity, Use of Display Screen Equipment (Workstations) and Manual Handling (Moving Objects)
