Applying the Due Diligence Duty

Applying the Due Diligence Duty: Strengthening Governance Through Health & Safety Leadership.

 

Who should attend:

Directors, business owners, and senior leaders who influence organisational strategy and want assurance that health and safety governance is robust and compliant.

 

Why this matters for you as a director or business owner:

Good governance isn’t just about financial performance—it’s about creating a safe, sustainable business where people thrive. Under the Health and Safety at Work (HSW) Act, directors and officers have a legal duty to exercise due diligence. This course equips you with the knowledge and practical tools to meet those obligations confidently, protect your people, and safeguard your organisation’s reputation.

 

What you’ll gain:

• A clear understanding of your legal responsibilities under the HSW Act and why they are critical to governance and risk management.

• Insight into how strong health and safety leadership drives business performance and resilience.

• Practical strategies to embed best practice into your organisation’s culture and systems.

 

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

• Interpret essential health and safety concepts in the context of due diligence.

• Evaluate your organisation’s health and safety systems and identify gaps.

• Understand and manage hazards and risks effectively.

• Lead with confidence—knowing how your decisions impact safety outcomes.

• Develop a tailored action plan to meet your due diligence duties.
