The program is divided into units covering core health and safety topics. Trainees will develop the skills and understanding of HSE to ensure they can carry out the role of health and safety officer to a high standard within the workplace. The training covers the principles of health and safety rather than the specific law. This program focuses on common workplace hazards and how to identify and control them.
