Course Aims
Each year in the UK, people are killed, injured and suffer work-related illnesses while carrying out
their jobs.
So Health & Safety is a significant concern. The government, employers and workers all have an
essential role to play in reducing deaths and accidents and preventing ill-health at work.

their induction process or as preparation for the online accredited exam. Whilst this course, Level 1

basics of risk assessment and safe working practices. It then goes into detail to cover the most
common hazards encountered in construction environments from Working at Height and
