This eLearning course aims to refresh and enhance your knowledge about Health and Safety in the workplace.

This course covers the cores subjects for Health and Safety practice in the health and social care sector. Health and Safety training is a legal requirement for all employers, and it is important that staff and individuals needing care and support are protected, and remain safe, in the workplace. 

The training relates to health and safety aspects in each module but does not take the place of mandatory or other specific courses that link to the module subjects. The course is aimed at giving learners a good overview and knowledge of their health and safety responsibilities, and how they should be supported by their employer and protected under law.  

This training applies to all health and social care workers that work in settings such as Care Homes, Day Centres, or supporting an individual in their own home. This also applies to hospital staff at health care assistant level, unpaid and voluntary workers.
