CIEH Foundation in Health & Safety in the workplace

This one day course covers some of the most common Health and Safety issues in the workplace. Good health and safety standards rely on employers and employees working together. This qualification represents a foundation of knowledge required by everyone. It provides essential understanding of health and safety for employees working in any business sector.

CIEH Principles of manual handling

Principles of Manual Handling is a stand-alone level 1 qualification, which complements the CIEH Basic Health and Safety program. It is aimed at those who carry out manual handling activities at work and introduces students to the hazards of manual handling, the risks involved and controls available and what to expect from a manual handling assessment. Successful completion will prepare students to look carefully at their own work activities and contribute to the development of safer methods and tasks, in co-operation with their managers and supervisors. The qualification is not intended to train students to carry out manual handling assessments nor to provide detailed training on handling techniques. ½ day course

CIEH principles of COSHH certificate

Principles of COSHH is a stand-alone level 1 qualification, which complements the CIEH Health and Safety programme.

Successful completion will prepare students to look carefully at their own work activities and contribute to the safer use of hazardous substances in co-operation with their managers and supervisors.
