Why employers train for this

Employers must assess risks (UK: Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, regulation 3; Ireland: Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, section 19) and must train employees for their tasks (regulation 13 and section 10). This course trains the people who do the assessing.

Where it is planned

Ireland, United Kingdom. Rules can differ by country, state and workplace, so check what applies to you.
