Course contents
This training course is broken down into 2 sections
-
1The Hazards
-
2Health and safety responsibilities
Section 1
Although there are many different types of hazards, most workplace injuries and ill-health are down to a relatively small number of common causes. We’ll be concentrating on these in this section, we'll look at slips, trips and falls, manual handling, DSE, working environment, fire, electricity and hazardous substances.
Section 2
Employers must comply with health and safety law to ensure everyone’s safety. To do this they’ll have safety policies and procedures in place. You need to know what’s in these, and you must follow them. In this section, we will be looking at what’s required of an organisation to ensure everyone’s health and safety.
About this course
Everyone in your workplace is legally required to have Health and Safety Training, and this module provides the perfect introduction to Health and Safety – whether as an induction tool, refresher, or for people changing roles within your organisation.
This IOSH & RoSPA Approved Health and Safety Training gives a good grounding in general Health and Safety at work, helping employees recognise and avoid risks at work and explaining what to do to minimise illness and reduce workplace accidents.
It looks at responsibilities and legal requirements, hazards and risk, safety signs at work, your working environment and workplace emergency procedures such as fire evacuation and calling the emergency services. Health and Safety Essentials briefly covers fire awareness; slips, trips and falls; manual handling; basic DSE; basic COSHH; and electrical safety.
Our health & safety training can be completed in one go or it can be done in bite size chunks – whatever suits you – the system remembers exactly where you stop, so you can resume where you left off.

Good information
Things that you and everyone should know when starting a job no matter where you work
Easy to follow format
Course content was easy to follow and a good starting point for new employees.
Superb training
I enjoyed the training. The visual illustrations were successfully delivered
Good content and well explained
As this course covers many topics it does repeat some of the manual handling training which is on a separate module – always a useful reminder though.
Good overview of what's required on site
Thorough in all sections and for me a good recap plus new information that could be missed. The 'additional' details supplied in many of the elements are useful and helped me and my understanding. The trainer's offer clear advice in a simple way. Thank you
