The Health and Safety Officer at Work course provides an in-depth exploration of key concepts and best practices in occupational health and safety. It begins with a solid foundation in workplace safety principles, focusing on both employer and employee responsibilities in promoting a safe and compliant working environment. Participants will learn how to carry out thorough safety and health inspections, conduct incident reporting, and lead effective investigations following workplace accidents or near misses.

As learners progress, they will gain insight into fostering a positive safety culture within the workplace. This includes identifying physical and environmental hazards, understanding how psychological and management perceptions impact safety performance, and recognising the role of safety leadership in encouraging employee engagement and compliance.

Specialised modules address critical operational safety areas such as working at height, managing workplace transport, handling hazardous substances, and ensuring safe electrical and gas installations. The course also explores planning for health and safety, the use of safety signs and signals, and emergency preparedness through fire safety training and first aid readiness. Attention is given to sector-specific safety practices in offices, workshops, and catering environments to ensure that participants are prepared for diverse workplace settings.

Through this course, learners will not only meet health and safety regulations but also actively contribute to a safer, more productive workplace. By the end of the programme, participants will be equipped with the confidence and capability to assess risks, influence safe behaviours, and manage workplace safety standards at a professional level.
