Risk Assessment in the Workplace Elearning

Our Risk Assessment in the workplace course teaches workers in a supervisory position how to carry out a risk assessment properly.

Our CPD-approved risk assessment course teaches supervisors and managers the practical skills needed to identify hazards, evaluate risks and implement the necessary control measures. You'll learn to conduct thorough assessments tailored to your specific workplace environment, whether you manage an office, retail space, warehouse, classroom, or construction site.

We all want to be safe, yet hundreds of thousands of accidents happen at work every year. That has a big impact on the individuals affected, as well as the productivity of businesses that lose time and money when an accident occurs. Therefore, preventing accidents is essential.

All managers or supervisors are responsible for health and safety in their workplaces, and risk assessments are a key part in this. Workplace health and safety assessments should be conducted to assess the impact of the working environment and the specific activities that are carried out.

This Risk Assessment in the workplace course teaches you how to carry out a risk assessment properly, including understanding the hierarchy of risk control.

Risk assessments are vital in the workplace for safeguarding the health and wellbeing of staff. Already, Health and Safety Executive statistics show that 665,000 workplace injuries were reported between 2023/24 alone.

Without risk assessments, this figure could be much higher, costing businesses even more in terms of finances and productivity, and putting more workers at risk. However, it is clear that more risk assessments are needed to help lower this figure in the future - and that's where Virtual College's Risk Assessment in the Workplace e-learning course comes in.

Through engaging interactive content featuring graphics, videos and practical challenges, you'll master:

• Hazard identification
• Risk evaluation
• Identification and implementation of control measures
• Communication
• Monitoring and review of risk assessments
