Course Overview
Understanding health and safety law shouldn't require a legal degree, yet many workplace incidents happen simply because risks weren't identified or managed properly in the first place. This health and safety compliance training has been built around that practical reality, giving learners a clear, structured understanding of workplace risk without unnecessary jargon.
The course opens with UK health and safety law, before covering how health and safety is managed practically within an organisation. Learners then move into risk assessment and common workplace risks, before covering workplace health, safety, and welfare, and how accidents and ill health at work are recorded and addressed.
From there, the course covers electrical, fire, and gas safety, followed by safety considerations across different types of work settings. Work equipment hazards and risk control are covered next, before the course closes with a wider look at other common health and safety hazards at work, ahead of the mock and final assessments.
The course was audited and updated on: 24th August, 2026
