The aim of this course is to give you a basic level of understanding relating to the essentials of health and safety matters. It has been designed for both new starters in the workplace and existing employees who may have little or no recent training on the basics of health and safety.

It covers employee and employers’ responsibilities and raises awareness of the kinds of risks and hazards that may be present in a variety of working environments and various control measures that should be in place where there is a risk to health.

Risks exist in most places of work. Employers have a legal duty to reduce risks, as far as possible, by identifying the risks and hazards and putting in place the relevant safety measures and control procedures to eliminate, or reduce, the hazards to a safe level to make sure that the working environment remains safe for everyone.

Having a good understanding of health and safety is essential for everyone in the workplace, whether you are an employee, self-employed, a supervisor or a manager. By adopting good health and safety practices, you will help yourself and others work in a safer way.

Although health and safety could apply to our own homes, where accidents unfortunately do happen, this course, along with all the laws, regulations and guidance, refers to health and safety in the workplace.
