About this course
Health and safety is about preventing people from being harmed by work or becoming ill through work. The Law states we must not put other workers, the public or ourselves in danger. Health and safety law applies to all businesses, however small.
A number of aspects of working safely are based on hazards, risks and risk control measures and we have to be clear what these terms mean and how hazards can be identified, and their risks reduced.
This course is ideal for learners who hold or about to take the Controller of Site Safety (COSS) or the Individuel Working Alone (IWA).
This training sets out to look at how to identify hazards within the workplace, recognise the risk and implement a control measure.
