Overview
Health and safety training in care settings should help staff understand the everyday risks that affect people receiving care, colleagues, visitors, and themselves. This route is for care homes, domiciliary care providers, supported living services, healthcare teams, and managers who need online health and safety awareness for induction, refresher training, certificates, and reporting. It supports knowledge around safer working routines, risk awareness, incident reporting, slips and trips, lone working, hazardous substances, moving and handling awareness, welfare, and the importance of following local policies and risk assessments.
