About this Course

This Health and Safety Qualification outlines the importance of health and safety in the workplace and the responsibilities of employees working in high-risk environments. It will enable you to perform risk assessments for common hazards and implement safety measures to minimise those risks.

Effective health and safety management can potentially save a significant amount of money. Health and safety-related accidents in the UK cost businesses tens of billions of pounds every year. Injuries and accidents can cause insurance premiums to rise and can even lead to litigation.

This Health and Safety qualification is aimed at managers and supervisors in the workplace, who are responsible for the safety of their staff. It covers the advanced principles of workplace health and safety that they need in order to meet legal requirements and the training needs of their employees. It can be used to train new staff or as part of the on-program element of the new apprenticeship standards.

Upon completion of the course, learners will receive a fully recognised Level 3 Health & Safety (RQF) certificate from Highfield Qualifications.

A learning management system or LMS is a software application for the administration, tracking, reporting, automation, and delivery of learning content. It is the system that learners will log into, to access their courses, and administrators will use to manage their learners. The Tutorak LMS has been created with the needs of a business in mind; it reduces the time and effort required to administer training and features detailed reports on training progress. We have worked in partnership with many businesses and organisations and have gained a unique understanding of the challenges they face while delivering training to a workforce. This has allowed us to create a flexible system which can be modified according to the needs of your company.

When you purchase this course, you will receive three emails: a payment receipt, login credentials to access the LMS and a step-by-step guide to support you through the entire process.

For the purchase of a single course license, you will be given details to access a learner account, where you can take your course directly. Any purchases above a single course license will automatically generate details for an administrator account for you to manage the learners that will be taking the course.
