  • About This Course
    You may think that health and safety is the responsibility of just one person within your workplace, but you’d be wrong. As an individual you’re just as responsible for keeping your work environment safe as your manager or the designated health and safety officer. An important aspect of workplace health and safety is the risk assessment process, which is why Introduction to Risk Assessment is here to help you get to grips with this. This online course will teach you everything you need to know to assess risk within your workplace, anticipate hazards and prevent work-related accidents and injuries.

    Introduction to Risk Assessment is suitable for any member of staff of an organisation or business who wishes to know more about workplace health and safety and risk assessments. Whether you’re an employee who wants to keep your colleagues safe, or a manager who needs to understand how to comply with health and safety legislation, this course is for you. 
     

    What will you get from this course?
    By completing Introduction to Risk Assessment, you will be well on your way to creating, and maintaining, a safer environment for you and your colleagues to work in.

Professional and helpful - 100% would use again!

I took the online Level 3 Dog Grooming course with the final exam at the end. I know it is just an online course with no practical skills required but this is the next best thing! It provided me with amazing resources and informative modules of different areas. I found this course very good and would definitely recommend it!
