What is health and safety?
Occupational safety and health, also commonly referred to as occupational health and safety, occupational health, or workplace health and safety, is a multidisciplinary field concerned with the safety, health, and welfare of people at work.
Why is online health and safety training course important for health and social care?
Over 200 people are killed each year in accidents at work, and over one million people are injured. Over two million suffer illnesses caused by or made worse by, their work.

So, preventing accidents and ill health caused by work should be a key priority for everyone at work.
