General Workplace Health and Safety

Workplace health and safety is about identifying and preventing hazards that could lead to injury, mental and physical illness, and fatalities at work. A workplace with effective health and safety practices enjoys higher productivity, healthier employees, better recruitment and retention, and fewer fines and work interruptions. Workplace health and safety is everyone's responsibility, and it's critical we all do our part.

This course is intended for workers in any position, no matter how long you've been in your role.

After completing this course, you will be able to describe a worker's health and safety rights, responsibilities, and expectations, including how to report concerns and incidents. You will also learn how to use the point of care risk assessment to reduce your risks in the workplace.

You can take this course individually or as part of our six-course Safety Basics curriculum.
