Employers are required to protect the health and safety of people while at work and others who may be affected by the undertakings. Thousands of accidents and cases of ill health happen in workplaces every year, some are reported to the enforcing authorities, however, many go unreported. A fundamental aspect of health and safety is to take measures aimed at preventing accidents and protecting people. Employers and employees need to work together in order to achieve good health and safety standards. Employers must inform, instruct and train their staff on all aspects relating to safe working practices in order to achieve acceptable standards. Good health and safety standards make good business sense.

Assessment will be by means of continuous self-assessment, tutor review and feedback of activities undertaken & a multiple-choice knowledge ‘test’ covering the six outcomes.
