Highfield Level 2 Health and Safety
What’s It About?
This Level 2 Health and Safety course will provide you with an understanding of how to work safely within your organisation. It includes employer and employee legal responsibilities, accident prevention and an overview of some of the critical areas of workplace health and safety.
What Will You Gain?
By attending this Level 2 Health and Safety course, you will have a good basic knowledge of health and safety procedures in the workplace.
You will understand the responsibilities of employers and employees under health and safety legislation. You will learn the importance of undertaking a risk assessment to prevent and control hazards.
On returning to the workplace, you will know how to follow the correct safety procedures. You will also understand the hazards and ill health effects associated with work activities and processes.
Who Should Attend?
This one day Level 2 health and safety course is ideal for all employees in the workplace, regardless of their type of business.
Everyone is at risk from work-related illness and injury, in particular, new staff and employees who have recently changed job roles or taken on extra responsibilities. Employees who haven’t refreshed their skills in the past three years are also at risk.
This course is not suitable for Managers or Supervisors who already have basic health and safety knowledge. They would need to attend the Level 3 Award in Health and Safety within the Workplace qualification.
Why’s It Important?
As an employer, you have a legal responsibility to provide a safe workplace for your employees. Failure to comply can result in imprisonment, hefty legal fees, fines, higher insurance premiums and even your business’ reputation. Not only that but an unhealthy, injured, unmotivated workforce can lead to a drop in productivity.
