Health and Safety Training

Health and safety training ensures that people who work in an organisation know how to work safely and without risks to health. It also ensures that companies meet their legal duty to protect the health and safety of employees. In fact, the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 requires companies to provide whatever information, instruction, training and supervision that is necessary to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety at work of all employees. Types of health and safety training courses include NEBOSH (National Examination Board of Occupational Safety and Health), IOSH (Institution of Occupational Safety and Health), Fire marshal training, Risk assessment courses, Moving and handling courses, Occupational health courses, and First Aid training. Health and safety training is available for every employee of any organisation.
