Course description
Everyone wants to stay safe and healthy, and that’s why health and safety (H&S) at work is enshrined in law. Being unwell or put at risk of harm has wide implications for both the individual affected and the business they work for.
When the Health and Safety at Work Act came into force in 1974, businesses were now responsible for keeping their employees safe and well. That included training them regularly in how to do that.

You’ll find out about the key principles: how to recognise and control hazards, how to prevent accidents and how to communicate health and safety information. Employers can use this course to comply with their obligations to legislation.
