Course Status and Scope

This eLearning course provides health and safety awareness training only.

It does not:

  • confirm competence
  • authorise the use of angle grinders
  • replace practical training, supervision, or a task-specific Safe System of Work

Competence is achieved through a combination of training, instruction, experience, and supervision. Management remain responsible for ensuring that appropriate systems, controls, and authorisations are in place before work is undertaken.
