Level 2 Health & Safety in the Workplace (CPD)

A workplace health and safety course for the people responsible for keeping a team safe day to day: supervisors, managers, team leaders and owners of small businesses, and anyone who has to carry out a risk assessment and then act on what it finds.

Eight teaching lessons cover health and safety law and who is responsible for what; risk assessment and how hazards are actually controlled; common workplace hazards and the working environment, from slips and trips to temperature, noise and work at height; manual handling and musculoskeletal health; hazardous substances under COSHH; fire safety; PPE, display screen equipment and work equipment; and accidents, first aid, RIDDOR reporting and wellbeing at work.

The emphasis throughout is on what a supervisor must actually do and record, rather than on reciting law. Each lesson ends with its own assessment, and the course closes with a final exam and an instantly issued, verifiable certificate.
