About this course
Our Health & Safety in Care Training Course educates users on the legislation surrounding Health & Safety so that both the carer and the people receiving the care are protected.
There are various pieces of legislation that are relevant to Health & Safety in Care. In this course, we will touch on:
- RIDDOR 2013
- The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
- The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
- The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations
- The Manual Handling Operations Regulations
- The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations
- The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations
This Standard also touches upon how Health & Safety policies and procedures are agreed with the employer, who is responsible for Health & Safety at work and tasks that should be carried out after training. In this course, you will also cover accidents and sudden illnesses. Accidents and sudden illnesses can affect anyone at any time, but the very nature of the care industry means you may often be working with vulnerable people, sometimes with physical and mental disabilities, which can make the chances of an accident or sudden illness all the more likely.
This course works alongside our 14 other awareness courses that make up the Care Certificate Standards.
You can access our free worksheet that has been designed to accompany our online Health & Safety in Care Training course. In each section, there is a box for you to
tick when you have watched the relevant slide in our course. You can also take notes that will help you during your practical assessment at work.
This course equips learners with the knowledge that’s required to be put into practice in the workplace, whereby they can do the ‘practical’ part of their training, followed by having the Care Certificate supplied to them by their management as they meet the required standards. These courses provide part of training but practical training is still required to obtain the care certificate.

Why is this training important?
Compliance
It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
Health & Safety in Care is one of the 15 standards in the Care Certificate. The Care Certificate is an agreed set of standards that set out what is expected of the job roles in the health and social care sector. It forms part of an induction programme that should be covered if you are ‘new to care’. Our courses are used as an educational tool to help provide an understanding and awareness of each standard.
The Care Certificate was developed by Skills for Care, Health Education England and Skills for Health.
Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (also referred to as HSWA, the HSW Act, the 1974 Act or HASAWA) is the primary piece of legislation covering occupational health and safety in Great Britain.
