Funded Courses » How To Stay Safe & Healthy At Work Training Courses

Locations: Rooksbridge, Plymouth, Dartmoor, Liskeard, Bristol.

Course Aim

The importance of Health and Safety training for all new and existing staff cannot be underestimated.
The course is ideal if you are an employee or an employer, as it aims to provide the basic knowledge needed to enable you to comply with Health & Safety Executive (HSE) requirements.

The course lets you chose a working environment most similar to your own - an office, a construction site, a hospital or care home, a factory, a farm, a shop, a restaurant, a warehouse or a leisure centre - and examines the risk and dangers that you are likely to face in each particular workplace. At the end of each section, a "knowledge check" ensures that you have fully understood all the issues raised.

How To Stay Safe and Healthy At Work gives you the basic knowledge you need to protect yourself and others at your place of work.
