Health and Safety Awareness Training for New and Developing Staff

Start Safe: Essential Awareness for Everyday Work

The first weeks in a new role are when good workplace habits need to take hold. This Health and Safety Awareness course gives new employees, apprentices, and returning staff a clear, accessible introduction to working safely and recognising that everyone has a part to play in preventing harm. It is designed as a practical starting point for organisations that want safety expectations to be understood from the outset. The programme helps learners become more alert to their surroundings, appreciate the value of safe routines, and approach their work with greater confidence and care.

Why this Training Matters for your Organisation

Health and safety awareness is most effective when it is introduced early and reinforced consistently. New staff may be unfamiliar with a workplace, its risks, or the procedures designed to protect them. Providing a strong initial grounding helps employers set the right standard from day one, reduce avoidable uncertainty, and make safe conduct part of how people settle into their role. It also gives managers a straightforward way to demonstrate that employee welfare is taken seriously.

Who Should Attend

This course is well suited to:

• New employees beginning work in an office, site-based, customer-facing, or operational role.
• Existing employees who would benefit from refreshing their core health-and-safety awareness.

The course introduces the fundamentals of working safely, including:

• How individuals can contribute to a secure working environment through safe everyday conduct.
• The value of recognising potential risks and following workplace safety arrangements.
• How a basic understanding of safety supports confidence, responsibility, and effective working practice.

Following the course content, participants complete a 20-question multiple-choice assessment. The required pass mark is 100%. Answers are marked automatically, allowing learners to see their result immediately. If a further attempt is required, the assessment may be repeated without charge as many times as necessary.

Team and Company Bookings

When onboarding a group of new starters or apprentices, company access allows organisations to allocate training efficiently and review completion from a single point. This helps create a consistent safety introduction across teams.
