Course Syllabus

The Level Two Health and Safety Awareness course is designed to be concise and informative, and to allow learners to gain a general understanding of health and safety. It covers a wide range of health and safety concerns, and details the control measures that can be taken to help eliminate or reduce hazards that may be faced in the workplace. Completing the Level Two Health and Safety Awareness ensures that you have practiced due diligence.

The course is divided into six distinctive sections.

Each section has specific learning objectives.

Section One: Responsibilities, Laws and Regulations

The health and safety of workers is of paramount importance- an issue that should be at the forefront of every business. Every single worker, regardless of their job role, should be aware of the proper health and safety measures that should be in place, and should do their best to follow them in order to create a safe working environment.

In this section, you will learn:

  • Laws and legislation that relate to the health and safety of the workplace
  • Your responsibilities as a worker in maintaining the health and safety of the workplace
  • Your employer’s responsibilities in maintaining the health and safety of the workplace
  • The responsibilities of external bodies in maintaining the health and safety of the workplace

Section Two: Fulfilling Responsibilities

Being aware of what your responsibilities are is one thing- the most important part is actually being able to fulfil your responsibilities and take actions that maintain the health and safety of yourself and others.

In this section you will learn:

  • The importance of first aid
  • How a risk assessment should be carried out

Section Three: Disastrous Hazards

All hazards can pose as disastrous- whether in terms of their immediate effects, or long-term effects. The disastrous hazards in this section refer to those that happen on a large scale and can have immediate, tragic effects. That being said, it is vital that you treat all hazards with sincerity and understand that all hazards are dangerous, not just those in this section.

In this section you will learn:

  • What fire hazards are, and how to control them
  • What electric hazards are, and how to control them

Section Four: Hazardous Substances

Nearly all workplaces deal with hazardous substances. These can include cleaning chemicals, flammable liquids and fumes, as well as naturally occurring materials such as silica, which whilst widely used, can be dangerous to people. This is because hazardous substances can enter the body in multiple ways- through the eyes, the skin, through inhalation or ingestion and can make you ill.

In this section you will learn:

  • What hazardous substances are
  • How to control hazardous substances

Section Five: Human Hazards

Human hazards involve those hazards that are, in some way, caused by humans. The dangers of the workplace are not restricted to those that you can physically see, such as dangerous equipment or fire hazards- there are also social and humanitarian hazards.

In this section you will learn:

  • How people can suffer from stress, and how to prevent and/or respond to it
  • How drugs or alcohol may be abused and how to respond to that
  • How conflict or violence may arise in the workplace, and how to respond to it

Section Six: Everyday Hazards

Everyday hazards are those that are commonplace in the workplace, and that every worker will encounter on a regular basis. They include more obvious hazards, such as slippery surfaces, but also less obvious hazards, such as bad ergonomics or inadequate displays. All of the hazards in this section should be taken just as seriously as the hazards in the rest of the course, as some can have rather debilitating, long-term effects.

In this section you will learn:

  • How a workstation should be set up and used
  • To be aware of how surface falls can happen, and what you can do to prevent that eventuality
  • How to approach manual work in a safe manner
  • How procedures can deal with everyday hazards and maintain the health and safety of the workplace
