Health and Safety Awareness
This Health and Safety Awareness training course follows the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. Once completed, you will meet your legal obligations and minimise the risk of bad press or lawsuits for your company.
Description
Any employer operating within the United Kingdom must have strict policies in place regarding who is responsible for workplace health and safety. An employer has a responsibility to uphold health and safety standards within the workplace and ensure the safety of their employees or anyone on their premises, such as temporary staff, clients and visitors. Statistics from the HSE show that within a one year period, half a million UK workers developed musculoskeletal conditions as a result of their job, and 137 people died at work in a fatal accident. These statistics prove costly for business when 31.2 million days of work were lost due to workplace illness or injury. Save your business money and ensure your staff are aware of health and safety risks.
Our CPD accredited online Health and Safety At Work Awareness training course equips learners with an understanding of health and safety basics in the workplace, the most common risks & hazards and employer/employee health and safety responsibilities. Upon completion of this online course, either via e-learning or webinar, you will receive a printable health and safety certificate covering health and safety in your workplace.
