What is Health and Safety?

You will find that the two terms are put together as a matter of course in most people’s minds but it is important to remember that they are in fact two separate concepts:

Health – The protection of the bodies and minds of people from illness resulting from the materials, processes or procedures in the workplace.

Safety – The protection of people from physical injury.

The borderline between health and safety is ill defined and the two words are often used together to indicate concern for the physical and mental well being of the individual at the place of work.

Description

The Level 3 in Health & Safety is divided into following comprehensive modules.

We have deliberately designed the course to make it as interactive as possible with lots of self-assessment exercises for you to carry out so that you can gauge how much you have learned. These should not be sent to your tutor, however; the tutor will only want to see the five assignments that you will complete at the end of each unit (the Tutor Marked Assignments or TMAs).

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
