Law is a topic that inflences all our lives.
Each time we buy or sell goods or services we enter into a contract and while the engineer's role will normally be confined to technical issues, an understanding of the principles of the legal relationship is essential. Other legal relationships are just as important. That which exists between the employer and workers under the Health and Safety at Work Act will be familiar to most engineers but there are also obligations owed to the public. Many of these fall within the duty of care that exists under the law of negligence and a significant amount of the course is devoted to this topic. This two-day course develops both these themes.
