Health and Safety - An Introduction (Safety Health and Environment at Work)

Safety Health and Environment at Work

Study the fundamentals of safety, health and environment at work, along with the most important safety procedures in the workplace and their objectives.

Workplace safety is built upon a strong grounding of shared responsibility. Every member of the workforce from top to bottom plays their own unique yet equally-important role in building and maintaining a safe working environment. Where health and safety standards fall below expectations, it can usually be attributed to a combined lack of training and awareness. The greater the emphasis placed on workplace safety, the easier it becomes to build and maintain a safe working culture. Nevertheless, it is only when every employee is on the same page and working towards the same collective goals that a wider health and safety strategy can be effective.

This insightful tutorial has been designed for business owners, managers, supervisors and members of the workforce at all levels. Study an important introduction to workplace health and safety, along with the benefits of a safe working culture. Explore the role and value of health and safety training, key governing bodies and legislation, the creation of a safety committee and a variety of key health and safety resources.
