Overview

Personal safety is something that everyone needs to focus on in all areas of their life. This is true in both your personal life and your professional life. Incidents of workplace aggression and violence are on the rise, making it important to know how to protect yourself. Additionally, there are a growing number of employees who work in remote locations or on their own. Keeping everyone safe from potential risks and hazards while working in such an environment is an obligation on the part of both employers and employees.

This course goes into detail regarding personal safety, with an emphasis on personal safety while at work. We begin by giving you a brief introduction to the topic, including a definition and legal obligations in the area of health and safety. Next, we move on to talk about personal safety as it pertains to those who work alone, whether it is in an office or retail setting or if it involves working remotely from home. The course also reviews ways to stay safe while travelling on business, including why you should check in with your home office daily. Finally, we talk about how to stay safe when working at off-site locations.

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.
