Keeping Your Council Compliant | proactive tips, best practices, and preparing for change
Is your council meeting its health and safety duties?
As a council, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of your staff, volunteers, visitors, and the public should be a top priority. Failing to stay compliant with changing health and safety laws puts your council at risk of legal action, fines and reputational damage.
Join WorkNest’s expert-led webinar for practical, no-nonsense guidance on the latest legal updates and risk management strategies – designed specifically to help councils tackle workplace safety challenges and stay compliant.
13 May, 11.00 am - 12.00 pm
Host: Andrew Hall, Senior Client Manager and H&S Lead
