Basic Health and Safety Training

We all have a responsibility to help keep the workplace safe by following the precautionary measures and procedures put in place. Doing so reduces the hazards present, ensuring that accidents and incidents that can cause serious harm are kept to a minimum.

This course will provide you with an understanding of the importance of health and safety in the workplace and of the responsibilities employees and employers have under health and safety law. It outlines the hazards that are common in many workplaces and the effective methods to reduce them and the risk they pose to human health. With this knowledge, you will be fully prepared to recognise hazards in your own workplace and know how to uphold health and safety control measures.

This course cannot be used to apply for a Construction Skills Certificate Scheme (CSCS) Card.
