"This is Health and Safety gone mad" we have all heard it and probably laughed about it but where would we be without it? In a time of blame and law suits we depend on it - there to protect the worker and the business - designed to ensure that all employees are aware of their own safety and the safety of customers, contractors and the public. Did you know that each year, over 200 people are killed in accidents at work and over one million people are injured? By providing the right training, you can keep your staff safe and healthy, and avoid the legal implications of accidents in your business. This course can improve your career prospects, increase your earning potential and help you to become recognised by employers. As this is a Health and Safety Induction course, there are no pre-requisites and it is suitable for workers of all levels.
The course is intended as a ‘basic’ or ‘foundation’ level suitable for all workplace employees.
A great addition to your CV to show your commitment to health and safety at work, this is also beneficial for general knowledge.
