About the Course

When organisations have good health and safety practices, everyone wins. Employees are less likely to get injured and the public are better protected from work activities that might harm them. Employers are less likely to find themselves fined or prosecuted.

Good employee training is a key component of a safe, healthy workplace culture. After all, it’s impossible for employees to follow procedures and rules they haven’t been taught about!
