Course Overview
Build a Safer Workplace
Health and safety are a shared responsibility between employers and employees, ensuring a safe working environment is essential for the well-being of all involved. Health and safety is one of the few areas where the law specifically places obligations on employees to ensure their own safety and that of others around them. Understanding these responsibilities and how to adhere to safety protocols is crucial for safeguarding individuals and protecting businesses. Many workers mistakenly believe accidents only happen to others. However, the reality is that too many workers suffer harm simply because they fail to follow health and safety guidelines and safe working practices. The consequences of workplace accidents are not just physical; they can also have significant mental, emotional, and financial effects on workers, their families, and their colleagues.
The Working Safely course covers a broad spectrum of topics, including fire safety, asbestos awareness, working at height, control of substances hazardous to health (COSHH), personal protective equipment (PPE), and electrical safety. This course also explores effective methods for enhancing safety performance and protecting the environment. You will gain a solid foundation in workplace safety, and it is an excellent starting point for further health and safety training. You will be equipped with the knowledge necessary to contribute to a safer work environment and prevent accidents from occurring.
