How to stay safe and healthy at work

Around 30 million working days are lost to British businesses each year through preventable accidents and ill-health [1]. To safeguard your prosperity and protect your business reputation, it’s vital that you deliver effective Health and Safety training to all new and existing staff.

This course provides the basic knowledge needed to enable you to comply with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements. First, you’ll choose which work environment covered in the course is 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. Then, you’ll focus on the risks and dangers that you are likely to face in each particular workplace. At the end of each section, a ‘Knowledge Check’ ensures that you’ve fully understood all the issues that have been raised.

By the time you’ve finished the course, you’ll have developed a good understanding of how to protect yourself and others at your place of work and you’ll be ready to take the first steps to creating a safer working environment.
