Risk Assessment Training Course

The online Risk Assessment training course will provide the learner with knowledge to understand the importance of putting together an effective risk assessment in the workplace.

The aim of this course is to allow those responsible for writing the risk assessment to do so simply but correctly. Companies and business with five or more staff will need to record their findings either in paper format or electronically.
