Course information

The course explores both legal responsibilities and day-to-day safety practices, helping workers identify hazards, assess risks, and implement effective control measures to protect themselves, colleagues, clients, and members of the public.

Suitable for maintenance operatives, facilities teams, property services staff, caretakers, estates personnel, contractors, engineers, and supervisors, this training supports a proactive safety culture while promoting compliance with current health and safety legislation. It is particularly valuable for individuals who work independently, carry out reactive repairs, use tools and equipment, or regularly encounter hazards such as working at height, electricity, hazardous substances, manual handling tasks, and lone working situations.

By strengthening awareness of workplace risks and safe systems of work, delegates leave better equipped to prevent accidents, protect their wellbeing, contribute to a positive safety culture, and fulfil their responsibilities under UK health and safety legislation. Key learning outcomes and topics covered include:

  • Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and key workplace legislation
  • Employer and employee responsibilities for health and safety
  • Risk assessment principles and dynamic risk assessment
  • Hazard identification and hierarchy of control measures
  • COSHH and the safe handling of hazardous substances
  • Infection prevention, control measures, and Legionella awareness
