Highfield-accredited H&S, matched to role
The Highfield Level 2 & 3 Award in Health & Safety in the Workplace gives delegates the knowledge of basic H&S practices essential in the workplace. The qualification covers the responsibilities of employers and employees, common causes of accidents and near misses, and the importance of recording them. Level 2 is a one-day foundation for staff at any level. Level 3 is a three-day course for managers, supervisors and team leaders who need a working understanding of H&S in their role.
