Competent risk assessors, Highfield-accredited or non-accredited
The Highfield Level 3 Award in Risk Assessment is designed for employees responsible for conducting risk assessments in the workplace. The course covers the principles of risk assessment, the relationship between hazard and risk, and requires delegates to apply what they learn by carrying out a live risk assessment. Delivered on-site at your premises over two days. Available Highfield-accredited or non-accredited, depending on whether the awarding body certificate is required.
Three steps to a certified team
Pick the course, confirm a date, and we run the training. Every delegate leaves with a certificate - clear booking, clear agenda, no admin chase.
01
Scoped to your work
Opus reviews your existing risk assessment process and the activities delegates will assess. The practical element uses your own activities so delegates leave with usable assessments, not hypothetical exercises.
02
Two-day delivery on-site
Two days on-site covering the principles of risk assessment, the relationship between hazard and risk, the hierarchy of controls, organisation of a risk assessment programme, training needs identification and legal compliance. Practical assessment built into the course.

03
