CIEH Intermediate Certificate In Health & Safety

The requirement for good health and safety practices in the workplace is enshrined in law but as importantly is a responsibility shared by all. Business owners and managers must ensure that policies and procedures are in place to protect not only workers but also visitors to the premises.
‘Supervising health and safety’ combines a relevant training programme with a radically new and accessible training protocol. The examination can be taken immediately at the end of the course as a traditional pencil and paper test or at an authorised testing centre. The latter option also provides the opportunity of instant results and feedback.

Who is the Course For?

This ‘level 2’ qualification is designed for team leaders, supervisors and also anyone who needs a broad understanding of health and safety issues. There are no pre-requisites for entry to the course, however attendance at a ‘Basic Health & Safety’ course (level 1 qualification) would be beneficial.

Elements of the programme include the following:

Concept of Health & Safety Accidents in the Workplace
Health in the Workplace Legal Provisions
Health & Safety Organisation & Management Supervising Health & Safety
