Why Study Health and Safety?
The UK’s Health and Safety Executive (HSE) clearly states that it is the responsibility of every employer to ensure adequate health and safety training is provided for the workforce. However, research suggests that many employees and employers alike are unaware of their health and safety obligations. Generating awareness of proactive health and safety in the workplace holds the key to preventing accidents and incidents. Of the 70,000+ workplace injuries reported each year in the UK, the overwhelming majority are considered preventable. The same can also be said for the 150+ deaths that occur at work annually – most attributed to errors, oversights and breaches of health and safety policy. Building a familiarity of the fundamentals of workplace health and safety is mandatory for all employees without exception. Both for newcomers to health and safety and as a helpful refresher course, this Level 7 Health and Safety Certificate comes highly recommended.
