Health, Safety & Care Courses

Employees & Workers

IOSH Working Safely gives staff a grounding in hazard awareness and personal responsibility, with topic-specific awareness training added for the risks they actually face.

Managers & Supervisors

IOSH Managing Safely is the usual starting point for anyone responsible for others — risk assessment, investigation and measuring performance, without committing to a full qualification.

Safety Professionals

NEBOSH certificates and diplomas are the recognised route for building a career in health and safety, and are what most employers look for when recruiting to a dedicated safety role.

Designated First Aiders

A first aid needs assessment determines whether 1-day EFAW is sufficient or the 3-day FAW is required. Work it out with our How Many First Aiders Do I Need? tool. Certificates last three years.

Responsible Persons

Named duty holders under fire safety, asbestos or water hygiene legislation need training pitched at assessment and management level rather than awareness. See fire safety and asbestos training.

Care & Support Workers

Safeguarding, moving and handling of people, medication and infection control, meeting the standards expected by CQC and equivalent regulators. See care and social care training.

First Aid

The three workplace qualifications set by your needs assessment: 1-Day Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) for lower-risk workplaces, 3-Day First Aid at Work (FAW) for higher-risk settings, and 2-Day FAW Re-qualification (FAWR) before a certificate expires.

Also paediatric first aid for childcare and education, defibrillator training, and St Andrew's First Aid for Scotland.

Fire & Building Safety

Fire warden and marshal training, fire risk assessment, and the passive fire protection competencies the Building Safety Act and Fire Safety (England) Regulations have pushed to the front — fire door inspection, fire stopping and extinguisher checks. Browse fire safety training.

Hazardous Substances

Asbestos awareness and duty to manage, COSHH assessment, and legionella control in water systems — the slow-onset exposures that cause far more deaths each year than workplace accidents.

Mental Health & Wellbeing

Mental Health First Aider training for designated workplace responders, alongside wider wellbeing, stress management and resilience courses. Employer duties extend to psychological as well as physical health.

Manual Handling & Ergonomics

Musculoskeletal injury remains one of the largest causes of lost working days in the UK. Manual handling training covers assessment and safe technique for both loads and people.

Care & Social Care

Training for those supporting vulnerable adults and children — care and social care courses covering safeguarding, medication, infection control and person-centred practice.
