Health and Safety Awareness
Health and safety is everyone’s responsibility. Whether you work in an office, warehouse, care setting, retail, or construction, it’s essential that all employees know how to work safely and reduce risk. This Health and Safety Awareness course helps staff at all levels build a clear understanding of good workplace safety practices across all sectors.
Throughout the training, learners explore common workplace hazards, effective risk assessment procedures, and their legal duties under current UK health and safety legislation. They also learn how to prevent accidents, report concerns promptly, and play an active role in creating a safer environment for themselves, their colleagues, and the public.
In addition, this course works well as part of an induction programme or as a refresher for existing staff who want to stay up to date with safety standards and good practice.
