Risk assessment is a systematic method of looking at work activities, and considering the things that
could cause significant harm to people, property or the environment.
The most important purpose of risk assessments is to help prevent accidents and ensure the safety
of employees and anyone affected by workplace activities.
At the end of this course, candidates will have an understanding of what a risk assessment is and
how to complete one. To achieve this the course will define important terms, provide some basic
background information to explain how important risk assessments are and discuss some of the
legislation that applies. It will then go on to provide practical advice on how to identify hazards and
analyse risk before finishing off by explaining the responsibilities of both employers and employees
with regards to risk assessment

Our Safeguarding courses have been created because, first and foremost, each and every one of us
has basic human rights. Chief among these is the right to be healthy, happy and treated well,
regardless of race, age, gender or location. When these rights are abused in some way it’s wrong,
and it is therefore vital that guidelines, policies and procedures are followed to enable everyone,
without exception to live a life in which these basic values and rights are maintained and upheld.
Everyone, regardless of their age, gender, religion, ethnicity or background has the right to a
healthy, happy life. Safeguarding is about minimising and managing the risks to vulnerable
individuals.
This course, ‘Safeguarding Children’, is aimed at anyone who has a duty of care for, or comes into
contact with children in their chosen profession.
Although most children are brought up in loving, nurturing environments and grow up to lead happy
lives, the subject has to be discussed in order to better protect those children that need it most.
During this course you will hear many facts, figures and details surrounding the risk to children, the
types of abuse suffered, how to recognise the signs of abuse and key safeguarding legislations put in
place to minimise the abuse of children.
Once you are able to recognise the signs of possible abuse, and know the steps you should take if
you suspect it you will be better able to protect the children in your care.

This course is aimed at anyone who has a duty of care for, or comes into contact with, adults in need
of care and support, either as a paid professional or a volunteer. This includes, but isn’t limited to,
those that work in domiciliary care, the NHS, community centres, prisons or with a family member at
home, and sets out the roles and responsibilities everyone must undertake to protect an adult’s
right to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect. You and the organisation you work for must take
appropriate and proportional measures necessary for the protection of adults in your care, while still
ensuring they are supported and empowered to have control over how they want to live their lives
and this course can bring you one step closer to being able to do this.
This means that whatever the circumstance, you and the organisation you work for must take
appropriate and proportional measures necessary for the protection of adults in your care, while still
ensuring they are supported and empowered to have control over how they want to live their lives.
During this course you will hear many facts, figures and details surrounding the risk to adults in need
of care and support, the types of abuse suffered and key safeguarding legislation put in place to
minimise the abuse of adults with care and support needs. By the end of this course, you will have
learned a better understanding of safeguarding principles and be able to apply them to your role.
This includes being able to define the key terminology in relation to safeguarding; identify the
principle laws that relate to safeguarding and why they have been put in place to minimise abuse;
recognise and respond to the ten types of abuse suffered by vulnerable adults; identify and report
concerns of abuse or neglect; describe your role, responsibilities and boundaries; ensure people are
supported and encouraged to make their own decisions and give informed consent, and finally
manage the environment to minimise the risk of abuse.

Safeguarding Legislation

Course Duration- Approx 2 hours

In the UK there are approximately 144 fatalities in the workplace and around 621,000 non-fatal
injuries every year. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) plays a vital role in managing Health &
Safety risks. However, historical data shows many workers suffering injury were not wearing this
clothing.
This course will show how wearing PPE plays a crucial role in preventing and reducing fatalities,
injuries and diseases that would otherwise occur in the workplace. It includes details of a wide range
of PPE options, examines the legislation and regulations that govern the responsibilities of
employers, employees and suppliers, and provides a real-life case study showing the law in action.
The course will also cover risk assessment and the role it plays in the selection and use of PPE along
with discussing other hazard control measures that can be implemented.
Finally, the course will move on to how to use, fit and wear PPE and understand its physical and
theoretical limitations.
Target Audience
This course is primarily aimed at people that work in industries such as construction where they are
likely to need to use a wide range of PPE on a daily basis. However, there are many other areas of
work where PPE is required such as factories, warehouses, window cleaners, healthcare workers,
beauticians and many others.
One of the key things this course is intended to do is to teach people why they should use the PPE
that is supplied to them and it is some of these other work areas where this message will be most
effective.
Advantages
Candidates understanding how and why they should use PPE will mean they are more likely to use it
consistently and correctly throughout their work. This has the advantage of reducing their risk of
injury.
Online training is flexible, efficient and cost-effective, so candidates can progress through the
modules at their own pace, in their own time, making it easy to fit the training around their work
and personal life.
Further Progression
Many of our other Health and Safety courses compliment this one include Working at Height,
Working Safely and Asbestos Awareness.

Course Description
This course covers general health and safety issues that apply to a wide range of types of businesses
and sectors, from office and retail environments to workshops and factories. The wide range of
topics covered makes this a great course to act as an introduction to health and safety in the
workplace that can then be built on with more detailed courses that cover specific hazards that
employees might come into contact with in specific workplaces. This makes it a useful part of the
induction process.
By the end of this course the candidate will have an understanding of health and safety legislation
and definitions of common terms associated with health and safety. This is followed up with some
statistics outlining the most common causes of accidents in the workplace.
They will also understand good practice in relation to electricity, display screen equipment and the
use of safe manual handling techniques. The course also introduces best practice associated with the
control of substances hazardous to health regulations, the importance of using appropriate PPE as
instructed and the most common procedures to follow in the event of a fire.
The course contains specific case studies that outline the seriousness of health and safety in the
workplace and potential consequences if there is a health and safety breach. Along with all this it
introduces the concept of risk assessment and concludes with the actions that should be taken in the
event of an emergency situation occurring.
Target Audience
The course has a very wide audience as it applies to a wide range of sectors and can be included as
part of the induction process in most businesses, especially when combined with other more specific
health and safety courses that apply to the candidates role.
Advantages
As this course covers a wide range of health and safety situations the course provides a strong basis
to further build on with more training.
IIRSM approval means that this course meets the rigorous standards of this leading industry body.
Online training is flexible, efficient and cost effective meaning the candidate can progress through
the modules at their own pace and in their own time, so they can fit the training in around their
work and personal life.
Further Progression
Other health and Safety courses that cover specific aspects of the candidates role for example if they
work a lot with computers then the DSE Awareness course would be useful to them. If they are going
to be handling chemicals then the more detailed COSHH course would cover this more thoroughly,
and if they are going to be working alone at any point then the Introduction to Personal Safety for
Lone Workers course would be a great next step
