THE LEVEL 1 AWARD IN HEALTH AND SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE COURSE
The Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace course offers a basic introduction to workplace health and Safety with a focus on the identification of potential hazards.
This course is ideal for the induction of new staff or the delivery of general health and safety information to existing workers. It is however not the course required for a CSCS Card application for the construction industry as in such cases a specific Level 1 construction qualification is required.
COURSE DURATION.
The estimated duration of the Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace course is 2 hours. Candidates may log in and out of the system and therefore do not need to complete the course in a single sitting. Learner course progress is automatically saved, so that they may return to the course whenever they wish and as a result course completion is entirely in the hands of the learner.
COURSE ACCESS.
Learners receive 90 days of access to the Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace course materials from the date of registration, therefore the course can be completed straightaway or at one’s leisure. Learners receive individual login details and can access the course using any device, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This provides learners with the flexibility to train on the go, whenever and wherever they wish, providing a more economical training option for small and large businesses.
Candidates who are registered by their manager using the GROUP option will receive 90 days of course access from the date an account is assigned to them, therefore allowing businesses to purchase multiple user accounts, safe in the knowledge that they will not expire until they are assigned to learners.
Course access ceases immediately following a successful final exam submission, thereafter course materials can not be viewed.
WHO REQUIRES THIS COURSE?
The Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace course is recommended as an integral part of an induction programme for new staff members, as most workplace accidents can be attributed to a lack of instruction or poor work practice.
This course is not the course required for a CSCS card application as in such cases a specific Level 1 construction qualification is required.
The Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace course can also be used as a valuable part of a school, or other educational programme.
Furthermore, the opportunity for learners to gain an instant achievement certificate is highly motivating.
COURSE CONTENT.
The Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace course consists of 4 core units, concluded by a final exam:
UNIT 2 – CONTROL OF HAZARDS AND RISKS.
UNIT 3 – CAUSES AND EFFECTS.
UNIT 4 – COMMUNICATION OF INFORMATION.
Each unit consists of topics and interim quizzes which must be completed before progress. At each stage, learners must click a ‘MARK COMPLETE’ button to progress. This serves as a means by which course progress can be tracked and is particularly useful in situations where learners are enrolled by a manager.
Using clearly defined Units and Topics provides candidates with a structured framework that allows them to set achievement targets as they progress through the course. Each course section is marked with a green check following completion, allowing learners to leave and easily recommence training.
