Awareness of Health and Safety at Work Elearning

Everyone wants to stay safe and healthy, and that’s why health and safety (H&S) at work is enshrined in law. Being unwell or put at risk of harm has wide implications for both the individual affected and the business they work for.

When the Health and Safety at Work Act came into force in 1974, businesses were now responsible for keeping their employees safe and well. That included training them regularly in how to do that.

This short course on Awareness of Health and Safety at Work helps you understand the importance of this topic. You’ll find out about the key principles: how to recognise and control hazards, how to prevent accidents and how to communicate health and safety information. Employers can use this course to comply with their obligations to legislation.

By taking this e-learning health and safety awareness course, you'll meet your legal obligations, minimise the risk of bad publicity or lawsuits for your company, gain awareness of health and safety issues and be able to demonstrate your understanding of health and safety laws.

Everyone has a role to play in ensuring their own health and safety at work, as well as that of their colleagues.
