Intermediate Certificate in Health and Safety

The requirement for good health and safety practices in the workplace is enshrined in law but as importantly is a responsibility shared by all. Business owners and managers must ensure that policies and procedures are in place to protect not only workers but also visitors to the premises.
It is essential to promote a health and safety culture in any workplace and a significant element in this strategy is the need to have a well trained and knowledgeable workforce at all levels. There are existing opportunities to train managers and operators but until now there has been little opportunity to train those at middle management levels. The Intermediate Certificate in Health and Safety combines a relevant training programme with a radically new and accessible training protocol. The examination can be taken immediately at the end of the course.

A superb three day training course aimed specifically at line managers supervisors and team leaders etc. Nationally recognised and accredited this training course gives the people who directly manage and supervise your employees the knowledge and understanding required to do so in a safe way, whilst ensuring that the legal responsibilities placed on them, employees and the company are fully understood
