About this course

A one-hour workplace safety introduction

This course brings together the main topics in its workplace-safety syllabus. Employer and employee responsibilities sit alongside hazard identification and incident reporting. Fire safety, emergency procedures, workplace welfare and first-aid arrangements are also included. The intended audience spans employees, team leaders and managers who need an introduction to the subject.

Choosing the right depth of study

Health and safety for employees places more emphasis on individual working practices, PPE and reporting hazards. Health and Safety Level 3 addresses supervisors and managers who design and monitor safe working practices.

Compare those audiences with the purpose of your training. This course remains the one-hour overview; each linked course has its own syllabus and scope. First-aid arrangements are one topic here, while the separate first aid awareness course covers that subject in more detail.
