Our Health & Safety in the Workplace Level 3 course has been developed to benefit those working in a supervisory or management position in order that they can acquire the knowledge and skills required to discharge their health and safety responsibilities effectively. The qualification is accredited by the Chartered Institute for Environmental Health (CIEH), and is typically three days long, with an exam at the end of the course.
The supervisor is in an ideal position to influence, monitor and train employees. They can also ensure that managers are informed, persuaded, encouraged or pressured into providing for better health and safety standards. Accidents and illness can result in disability, death or incapacity for work, and can give companies a bad reputation amongst customers and clients.
