Health and Safety in a Care Setting

e-Learning Course

The Health and Safety in a Care Setting e-Learning course has been developed by leading experts accredited by a certification body.  Care homes (nursing homes) are owned and managed by a wide range of organizations and they differ from other workplaces because they are not only places of work; they are also homes for their residents, usually elderly people. They should be places where the dignity and freedom of the residents are respected, and where everyone’s health and safety are managed effectively. To achieve this, everyone involved must understand their responsibilities.

Who this course is aimed at? This course is aimed at anyone working in the care sector and should act as an introduction to health and safety in their place of work.

Course objectives: This eLearning course discusses the legislation that applies to care homes, the responsibilities of management and employees, and looks at developing systems of work. It also covers what to do in some common hazards you might encounter as well as some Emergency situations. It concludes by discussing some aspects of the work environment and staff welfare.
