Health and Safety: Stage 1 Certificate

Trained Safety Reps save lives. This course is the starting point

What will I study?

The modules you will cover are:

Ensure you know your rights as a safety rep
make you appreciate and use the trade union approach to health and safety
Enable you to communicate with your members
Teach you how to conduct a health and safety inspection
Introduce you to key health and safety legislation

Entry requirements

Learners on the stage 1 have to be elected/nominated trade union safety representatives in their workplace.

There are no other entry requirements.

What next?

Once you have completed the Stage 1 course you will progress onto the Stage 2 course, "Next Steps for Safety Reps". These take place on Thursdays every other term so you will need to plan your release in advance. You may also want to do the union reps stage 1 if you have a dual role in the workplace.
