Overview:

All too often, especially in ‘safe’ environments such as offices, staff find it difficult to understand why they should see health and safety as an important issue. Unfortunately, it is often only when an accident occurs that minds are concentrated and action is taken. This course draws on Health and Safety Executive statistics to underline the very real risks that exist in what appear to be the safest of working environments. It also underlines the need to take health and safety seriously by making the learner aware of their responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. By addressing the learner’s attitude to health and safety, and discussing in overview the type of risks they face, the course will help the learner to address health and safety as a real workplace issue.

What does this mean to the learner’s company?

The Health and Safety at Work Act lays down very clear responsibilities on all employers for health and safety in the workplace. Compliance with these requirements is, however, difficult if staff are not committed to working with their employer, as well as meeting their own responsibilities under the Act. This course, and the others in the series, will provide essential support for organisations wishing to work with their staff in complying with health and safety law.
