About This Course
Ensuring the health and safety of not only yourself, but your employees is a concern every employer faces. Yet by putting procedures into place to maximise the welfare of your employees, you can minimise risk and ensure a healthy working environment.
Our Health and Safety in the Workplace Level 2 course is designed with this exact purpose in mind. Within this distance learning course you can gain a thorough knowledge on health and safety, as well as all the procedures and policies involved, so you can create a workplace that is safe for all.
At the same time, you can explore health and safety management systems; become familiar with common causes of accidents, and know how to investigate workplace welfare – all from the comfort of your own home.
This award winning course has been purposefully tailored for home study, making it ideal for those who can’t get into college every day.
Instead, you can absorb all of the skills this course has got to offer at a time, pace and location of your choosing, and do it on your own terms. No pressure. No strict deadlines. No stress.
You can mould this course to suit your work commitments and still gain an impressive qualification.
