CIEH Level 2 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace

Course Description

Designed to ensure that all employees are aware of their own safety and the safety of customers, contractors and the public. It can be tailored to business and individual needs to make the learning experience relevant and fit for purpose.

Who Should Attend

This course will assist anyone with no formal H&S training to understand their own and their employers responsibilities towards the maintenance of a Safe Place of Work, at the same time highlighting the potential hazards faced at work.

Course Content

Employers are responsible for providing safe and healthy workplace conditions as well as the right systems and methods for safe activities. Nevertheless, employees also have a vital part to play in the equation. They need the right knowledge and the right attitude which demands proper training in the basics of health and safety, as well as specific training for individual tasks.

The course will cover, understanding the principles of health and safety and accident prevention, how to contribute to any health and safety management system, understanding the importance of risk assessment as a technique for accident and ill health prevention, the responsibilities placed on employers and employees, hazards, risks and main causes of harm to workers (manual handling, hazardous substances, exposure to noise and vibration), the importance of following systems, procedures and rules, how individual action can reduce risks to health and safety and give an appreciation of how workplace equipment and task design affect health and safety.

A Polite Notice

It pays to be selective when booking training courses because not all training providers are what they appear to be. When booking a CIEH Level 2 Health & Safety Course you need to feel assured that your training provider is fully accredited to provide that training and is not then going to sub-contract the work. Lighthouse Safety Training is fully accredited by CIEH to provide the CIEH Level 2 Health & Safety course and proof of that accreditation can be seen at our accreditation page.
