Health and Safety Awareness

Overview

Whatever sort of organisation you work in, there is always the possibility of an accident or damage to someone’s health. All work exposes people to hazards. This can include loads which have to be manually handled; dangerous machinery; toxic substances; electricity; working with display screen equipment; or even psychological hazards, such as stress.

This module addresses the main hazards and risks that you are likely to encounter within the workplace. You will become confident in your knowledge of health and safety.
