Emphasising the importance of following the policies and procedures established in your workplace, this course focuses on essential knowledge to navigate and mitigate workplace hazards effectively. We explore various hazard types, including chemical, biological, and ergonomic hazards, as well as safe practices for handling hazardous substances and equipment. The course also introduces monitoring strategies to maintain a safe work environment.
The ready2work HSE series is designed for all staff and will typically follow from the ready2start series. With a basic grounding from the associated courses in that range, we can now focus on specific hazards and more detail. Workers should complete these courses at the very start of their employment and most titles would need to be refreshed every one or two years based on workplace requirements to ensure they are updated with the latest protocols and practices.
