Our Management Legal Liability course cover everything from law and legislation to “what” is the purpose of the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Employers will often be held liable for the conduct of their employees. Even if the employer had no intention or the motive for harm and played no physical role in the harm. To understand why, you have to understand two basic concepts “employer/employee responsibilities and liabilities” and understand minimum compliance’s by implementing management control and workplace safety inspections.

The practice of occupational health and safety, as well as the OHSA, is one of those ‘things’ which impose responsibilities and/or obligations on employers and, by ignoring those duties, employers continuously put themselves at risk. Failure to fulfil these legal responsibilities employers, employees could be prosecuted both under civil and criminal law, which may result in fines and/or even imprisonment.

Successful candidates credited with this unit standard are able to:

Explain the basic principles of the Act and the accompanying Regulations
Explain the requirements for minimum compliance stipulated in the Act.
Interpret the management controls required to achieve compliance
Explain the obligations of managers in terms of communication and training
