Understanding and Managing Health and Safety Legal Compliance – Online Course (Tutored)

Do you need help to understand how to comply with health & safety law for your organisation? Delivered across two focused modules, this online tutor-led course gives you the knowledge and practical confidence to understand and successfully manage all key aspects of health & safety legal compliance.

What is the course about?

Understanding health & safety legislation can feel overwhelming, with a wide range of topics and legal requirements to comprehend. It is an area where many organisations benefit from clear, practical guidance.

That’s where this training course can help. Designed to guide you through the key pieces of health & safety legislation in Great Britain, it removes the legal jargon and helps you understand which laws apply to your organisation and, most importantly, how to comply with them.

Delivered remotely by our qualified trainers, the course is designed to fit around busy working schedules. It is split into two modules, delivered on separate days to reduce online training fatigue and give participants time to absorb the content.

Attendance at both modules is required to complete the course.

This course can also be tailored to your organisation’s specific needs and delivered as bespoke in-house training.

What you'll learn

What the course covers

Module 1: Getting started with health & safety legislation in Great Britain

This module gives participants a clear introduction to health & safety legislation in Great Britain. It explains the legislative framework and the different levels of duty organisations need to understand, before exploring core legislation and practical steps that can help support compliance.

Topics covered include:

  • The legal framework in Great Britain.
  • Requirements for safe systems of work, welfare, safe premises, information, instruction, training and supervision.
  • Risk assessment and hazard management.
  • Workplace environment requirements, including safety signs.
  • Identifying and protecting vulnerable workers.
  • Manual handling requirements.
  • High-risk activities, emergency arrangements and competency requirements.

Module 2: A deeper dive into health & safety legislation

Building on the foundations covered in Module 1, this module examines more specific areas of health and safety legislation. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of key legal requirements, helping them determine which regulations apply to their organisation and how to manage compliance effectively.

Topics covered include:

  • Requirements for the provision, use, maintenance and storage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
  • Legal duties relating to the provision and safe use of work equipment.
  • Legislation governing lifting operations and lifting equipment.
  • Fire safety and workplace first aid requirements.
  • Reporting obligations under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR).
  • Measures for controlling substances hazardous to health (COSHH).
  • Managing workplace hazards, including noise, electromagnetic fields (EMF) and artificial optical radiation.

I’ve attended several courses with The Compliance People, and the delivery of the training is always consistent and excellent. It is all done in bitesize chunks and understanding is always checked throughout the session. I highly recommend them as a training provider.

Frequently asked questions

The training is completed over two modules, delivered on consecutive days (09:30-13:00). This ensures that you are not unavailable for a full working day and limits online training fatigue.

Yes absolutely! An experienced consultant will be there training you as if it was an in-person course. They will be able to answer any questions that you may have during the training modules – discussion is encouraged!

Assimilated Regulation 1907/2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) is not covered within this training as it is a very specialist area. However, we will look at The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).

You will receive a range of post-course resources to reinforce your learning. These include:

  • A compliance checklist for legislation covered in the training.
  • A document containing useful links to Approved Codes of Practice (ACOPs) and useful templates such as DSE assessments.
  • A PUWER assessment template.
  • Further information on legislation not covered in the training, such as the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

This is an online course which ideally requires each delegate to have access to a webcam. We encourage all delegates to turn on their webcam and keep the sound turned on, rather than muted. This will enable you to interact with the trainer and other course attendees to get the most from the sessions. You will also be completing activities in breakout rooms and using the chat function throughout the course. Therefore, to get the most out of the training, we recommend that delegates join on separate computers or laptops.
