Health and Safety – We Are All Responsible Certification

Health and safety training at work applies to everyone. Every year thousands of people suffer from work-related illness and injury so it is in everyone’s best interest to learn how to keep safe and healthy when in the workplace.

In this course you will learn about some common hazards workers face on a daily basis. You will discover how the relevant health and safety law works in both theory and practice, equipping you to spot these common hazards in any working environment, and to play a role in minimising harm.

Whether you are an employer, employee or self-employed individual, this course will provide you with an introduction to health and safety law in the UK. You will discover that health and safety is not merely an exercise in bureaucracy, but a necessity in the maintenance of a productive workforce.

Our Health and Safety training covers:

• What health and safety at work means, why it is important that everyone in the business understands their responsibilities, and how health and safety legislation is implemented
• Why employers must carry out risk assessments and what they need to do once they have identified workplace hazards.
• The risks that come with manual handling activities including lifting and carrying, and how these can be prevented
• The factors that make fires and electrical explosions more likely to occur in the workplace and how these hazards can be minimised or eliminated
• The importance of maintaining a safe workplace environment for employees and visitors; understanding the negative effects of employees working in a risky environment, which increases the likelihood of slips, trips and falls
