Hazard Awareness

Ensuring your employees are able to identify hazards in their day to day work is essential to keeping them safe on the job. A half day course helps staff to understand the importance of looking for hazards, how to identify them and what to do once they have been identified. This course can be tailored to your specific needs through a pre course site visit. This helps to ensure that any examples used are easily recognised and understood by your employees.

Risk Assessment

A step up from hazard identification, is understanding how to complete legal, effective and accurate Risk Assessments. This one day course will enable employees to undertake risk assessments and to review existing assessments. Employees will learn the legal basis for undertaking risk assessments and look at techniques for identifying hazards and control measures.
