Health and Safety in the Workplace (Level 1)

Employers have both a legal and moral obligation to ensure that employees work in both a safe and healthy environment. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 states that employers should provide whatever information, instruction, training and supervision necessary to ensure the health and safety at work of their employees.

This half day Health and Safety course provides a basic introduction to health and safety in the workplace. Designed to give employees the essential information needed to keep themselves and others safe at all times, the course is ideal for promoting a positive health and safety culture in the workplace.
