Course Overview
The Highfield Level 3 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace is designed for managers, supervisors and team leaders who are responsible for maintaining safe working practices and supporting their organisation’s health and safety arrangements.
Learners develop a broad understanding of legal responsibilities, risk assessment, workplace hazards, accident investigation and safety management. The course uses practical examples to help learners apply the principles to their own workplace rather than simply memorising legislation.
We believe quality training at affordable prices should be engaging and straightforward. Health and safety does not have to be an alien concept.
