Health and safety training
Protect yourself and your workforce by understanding workplace risks and how to reduce them
The importance of good health and safety
Following health and safety best practice is not only vital for managing and minimising risks to ensure a safe environment, but it's also essential for adhering to government regulations.
Health and safety statistics from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE)
In addition to the danger to public health, there are large fines in place for non-compliance, alongside risks to the success and reputation of an organisations' business. It is therefore essential that you, and the people you work with, are equipped with the right skills and knowledge, and to the standards we set as the UK's only chartered body for environmental health.
