- Who is responsible for managing H&S at attractions;
- H&S policies – what businesses must legally have in place and best practice on what they should have in place;
- How to manage and reduce risks, following the HSE advice of ‘Plan, Do, Check, Act’ and what this might look like in practice;
- When an investigation is required and how to manage this.
