About the Course

Risk assessments are an important part of keeping staff and the public safe. They protect people, equipment and businesses. You don’t need to be a health and safety professional to undertake a risk assessment. Many organisations complete them in-house.

Our online risk assessment training explains everything you need to know to complete a thorough risk assessment that complies with the necessary legislation. By explaining how uncontrolled risks in the workplace could lead to illness, accidents, and unforeseen costs, our online risk assessment training course is perfect for managers or supervisors in charge of the health and safety of their employees.

Effective risk assessments play a key role in improving health and safety in the workplace. Done correctly, they contribute to the health and safety culture of all workplaces and ensure all hazards are effectively controlled.

Our engaging Risk Assessment Challenge eLearning course shows employees how to identify and control workplace risks using a risk assessment document so that everyone can enjoy a safer working space.
