About this course
A blocked walkway, damaged equipment or a change in the weather can turn a familiar job into an unsafe one. This course follows the decisions employees make before starting work, while carrying it out and when something goes wrong.
Lessons cover movement and handling, equipment and chemicals, personal protective equipment, heat, fatigue and emergencies. Staff practise choosing a safe first response and giving a useful report. Employers can use the course for induction or refresher training alongside their own workplace instructions. Training and assessment are in English.
