Health and Safety Officer Course

Safety officer courses are designed for individuals who are taking on health and safety responsibilities within their workplace. Health and safety officer courses are typically nationally recognised and accredited by a UK examining body such as the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH), the Institute of Occupational Safety & Health (IOSH) or the British Safety Council. These industry training courses are usually offered in various learning methods including traditional classroom based learning, e-learning and distance learning. A safety officer training will typically teach the course delegates to understand workplace safety laws and legislations, how to conduct risk assessments and implement control measures to prevent accidents and injuries from happening. The position of safety officer is an important role within any organisation and the role is usually adopted by owners and directors in smaller organisations or supervisors and managers within larger organisations. Occupational safety training of this nature usually involves one week or two of intensive training along side written examinations.
