COURSE DURATION.
The estimated duration of this course is 2 hours. Candidates may log in and out of the system and therefore do not need to complete the course in a single sitting. Learner course progress is automatically saved, so that they may return to the course whenever they wish and as a result course completion is entirely in the hands of the learner.
COURSE ACCESS.
Learners receive 90 days access to the course materials from the date of registration, therefore the course can be completed straightaway or at ones leisure. Learners receive individual login details and can access the course using any device, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This provides learners with the flexibility to train on the go, whenever and wherever they wish and as a result provides a more economical training option for businesses small and large.
Candidates who are registered by their manger using the GROUP option will receive 90 days course access from the date an account is assigned to them, therefore allowing businesses to purchase multiple user accounts, safe in the knowledge that they will not expire until they are assigned to learners.
Course access ceases immediately following a successful final exam submission, thereafter course materials can not be viewed.
WHO REQUIRES THIS COURSE.
The course is recommended as an integral part of an induction programme for new staff members, as most workplace accidents can be attributed to a lack of instruction or poor work practice.
This course is not the course required for a CSCS card application as in such cases a specific Level 1 construction qualification is required.
The Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace course can also be used as a valuable part of a school, or other educational program.
Furthermore the opportunity for learners to gain an instant achievement certificate is highly motivating.
COURSE CONTENT.
The Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace course consists of 4 core units, concluded by a final exam:
UNIT 2 – CONTROL OF HAZARDS AND RISKS.
UNIT 3 – CAUSES AND EFFECTS.
UNIT 4 – COMMUNICATION OF INFORMATION.
Each unit consists of topics and interim quizzes which must be completed prior to progress. At each stage learners must click a ‘MARK COMPLETE’ button to progress. This serves as a means by which course progress can be tracked and is particularly useful in situations where learners are enrolled by a manager.
The use of clearly defined Units and Topics, provides candidates with a structured framework which allows them to set achievement targets as they progress through the course. Each section of the course is marked with a green check following completion, which allows learners to leave and then easily recommence training.
