Everyone in your workplace has to have Health and Safety Training. And our Health and Safety Essentials training can be used by anyone - new employees, people who are changing jobs or locations within your workplace. Its great for induction. It is also perfect to use for health and safety refresher training.

This training gives a good grounding in general health and safety at work, helping employees recognise and avoid risks at work and explaining what to do to minimise illness and reduce workplace accidents. Its important that your employees know how to keep themselves, their colleagues and the workplace safe and healthy.

It looks at responsibilities and legal requirements, hazard and risk, safety signs at work, personal protective equipment and workplace emergency procedures such as fire evacuation and calling the emergency services.
