The Health and Safety Level 2 Course is easy to follow and has been separated into four interesting modules;
1. Module 1 is Health and Safety at Work Legislation and Obligations. The opening module will explain the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 in detail and will offer advice for how to comply with the law. The important issue of risk assessments and their significance will also be explored.
2. Accidents at Work is the focus for module 2 and some of the most common workplace accidents that occur will be discussed. The prevention of slips, sprains and contact with hazardous substances are amongst some of the most typical.
3. Module 3 gives an overview of Personal Protective Equipment and Dealing with Asbestos. You will be educated on the vast array of PPE that is available and also taught how this is used to keep employees safe. The issues regarding Display Screen Equipment will be touched upon and the challenging issue of working with asbestos and how best to handle it will be advised.
4. A potentially lifesaving education will be offered in Module 4 where we will look in detail at Fires, First Aid and General Health. Fire prevention and how to manage in the instance of a fire will be taught, before moving onto the important issue of first aid. Some useful tips for avoiding workplace stress will also be given in this section.
The format of the course is essentially a slide show and it has been divided into different modules for your convenience. A short quiz will be given at the end of each module, where you will be required to answer a few short questions to enable you to progress to the next stage. The aim of this is to merely put your knowledge to the test and to prepare you for the ‘End of Course’ quiz. The final quiz will consist of 30 multiple-choice questions and you will need to score at least 70% (21 out of 30 questions) to successfully pass the course. Once you have achieved this, you will be able to instantly download your Health and Safety Level 2 certificate in PDF format. There is no pressure and you have the option to re-take the course if you fail.
It is estimated this course will take approximately 2–3 hours to complete. However, you have the option to complete it in stages and entirely at your own pace, so there is no set time limit.
After successfully passing the course, you can immediately download your PDF certificate, which is fully accredited by ROSPA and endorsed by the Institute of Hospitality.
