About this course

What the Working Safely course covers

Working Safely is taught entirely online, so there is nothing to attend and no start date to wait for. 7 modules, 150 minutes of study, and no deadline on either. The pace is entirely yours: sit it in an afternoon or spread it over a month.

The material takes in Introducing Working Safely, Defining Hazard and Risk, Identifying Common Hazards and Improving Safety Performance. There are 3 further modules beyond those, listed in full on the Modules tab.

The provider grades it intermediate, so it moves through the fundamentals quickly rather than teaching them. We list 98 Compliance & Risk courses, of which 46 sit at Intermediate. It is one of the longer ones in the subject, so budget an evening rather than a lunch break. CPD accreditation is included, so the training evidences itself for an appraisal or an inspection.

What this course is not: It is not an awareness course: if the subject is completely new to you, something introductory will be better value.

Course Description

Working safely is in the interest and concern of all staff, both employers and employees. Health and safety is one of the few areas where the law places specific duties specifically on employees so a knowledge of where this applies and how to ensure that it is adhered to is vital to protect individuals and businesses.

Most workers feel that accidents are something that only happens to other people. The reality is that too many workers are coming to harm by not observing Health and Safety laws and not working to safe systems of work – the physical, mental and financial burden of these accidents can have a huge impact on themselves, their families and their colleagues.

It also covers methods for improving safety performance and methods of protecting the environment.

Target Audience
This course is a great induction course in relation to health and safety as it covers a wide range of topics in some detail. Most of the examples relate to the construction industry so this course is perfect for people starting out working on a site for the first time.

Advantages
As this course covers a wide range of health and safety situations the course provides a strong basis to further build on with more training.

ROSPA and IIRSM approval mean that this course meets the rigorous standards of this leading industry body.

Online training is flexible, efficient and cost effective meaning the candidate can progress through the modules at their own pace and in their own time, so they can fit the training in around their work and personal life.

Further Progression
Other health and Safety courses that cover specific aspects of the candidates role for example if they are likely to be required to work above the ground then Working at Height would be a useful follow up. If they are going to be handling chemicals then the more detailed COSHH course would cover this more thoroughly, and if they are going to be working alone at any point then the Introduction to Personal Safety for Lone Workers course would be a great next step.
