About this course

Health and safety for new and existing staff

New starters, temporary staff and agency workers are specifically included in this course’s audience. The 1-2-hour syllabus concentrates on the employee’s role: recognising hazards, following safe working practices and reporting accidents or near misses. PPE and manual-handling awareness are included alongside employee rights and responsibilities.

This focus helps distinguish the course from Health and Safety in the Workplace, which also introduces emergency arrangements, welfare and the responsibilities of employers. Compare that broader syllabus when selecting an overview for a mixed staff and management audience.

For work that regularly involves moving loads, the separate manual handling course has dedicated modules on lifting risks, pushing and pulling, and repetitive handling.
