Who Should Take This Online Health and Safety Course?
One of the essential steps that employers can take towards creating a safe environment
is to ensure that all new employees receive suitable health and safety induction
training. This should cover basic safety principles and the organisation’s health
and safety arrangements – such as first aid facilities, fire precautions and evacuation
procedures.
In providing workers with information and training on health and safety at work,
employers can help to ensure that everyone has the necessary skills and knowledge
to carry out their work safely and therefore help to manage risks effectively in
the workplace
However it is not just employees who need to receive health and safety training.
Managers and supervisors also play a key role in ensuring a safe working environment
and need to be given adequate training to enable them to manage health and safety
effectively. Managerial and supervisory staff need to be aware of relevant health
and safety legislation and must be able to check that any control measures in the
workplace are effectively reducing the risks.
Developed by a leading health and safety professional (British Safety Council) member
with over 30 years’ experience as a health and safety professional, this course
will give learners the required skills to meet their health, safety and environment
obligations.
Certification
On successful completion of the course you will be sent a quality assured health
and safety certificate through the post the next working day. This can be used to
provide evidence for compliance and audit.
