Workplace Health and Safety

Overview

If you want to learn more about ensuring safety in the workplace, here’s a great course to get started on. Workplace Health and Safety focuses on how to care about your employees, ensure they are kept safely in the work environment, assess workplace risks and hazards, mitigate these risks and adhere to health and safety terms and legislation. Maintaining workplace health and safety will benefit the organisation as a whole, whether it’s operational cost, improved productivity and high job satisfaction. Key modules are explored in this course and focus on causes of workplace accidents, how to introduce good practices of safe handling techniques and the importance of implementing protocols in case of incidents. Workplace health and safety is not limited to one type of business or organisation, but as a whole, it is applicable to multiple sectors and industries.
