Health and Safety at Work

E-Learning

20–30 min

BackgroundCourse Overview

Legally, employers are obligated to ensure the safety of their employees, customers, and all visitors to their premises. Staff and customers typically expect a secure environment, and necessary measures such as workplace safety training must be implemented to maintain compliance and safety.

All organisations must adhere to the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HSWA), which establishes minimum health and safety standards for workplaces. Effective workplace safety training is important to achieve these standards and maintain a safe work environment.

This workplace safety training course offers employers and employees a comprehensive understanding of workplace health and safety, along with essential knowledge of legal requirements and obligations.
