Course overview

This Health and Safety Training for Homeworkers programme has been designed to provide a good grounding in general health and safety.

It's for anyone who works at home, whether it's all of the time or some of the time.

It looks at important areas of safety, INCLUDING (and MUCH MORE):

Avoiding slips, trips and falls

Fire safety awareness

Promoting good lifting technique

Using electrical equipment safely

Setting up an office area with comfort and good posture in mind to avoid problems such as bad backs

Other areas covered are home security, work confidentiality, first aid, personal safety and the importance of maintaining a good home-work balance.

Just over 4 million people in the UK class themselves as homeworkers, that amounts to around 14% of the total workforce. Our Health and Safety Training for Homeworkers makes sure that both employees and employers understand their responsibilities.

This eLearning course only provides awareness education. Face to face training would be needed in addition in order to complete all-round skills and knowledge to be able to carry this forward practically in your organisation.
