There are approximately 144 fatalities in the workplace, and around 621,000 non-fatal injuries every year in the UK. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) plays a vital role in managing Health & Safety risks and protecting people.

It is primarily aimed at people working in the construction, engineering and manufacturing industries, who are likely to need to use PPE on a daily basis. However, many other job roles also require workers to use PPE. For example, factory, warehouse, beauticians and healthcare workers, to name a few.

This Personal Protective Equipment online training course is designed to help protect both people and businesses from the risks of workplace accidents. The course includes details of a wide range of PPE options. It examines the legislation and regulations that govern the responsibilities of employers, employees and suppliers. In addition the course provides a real-life case study that shows the law in action. Continuing on to cover risk assessment, and the role it plays in the selection and use of PPE, along with discussing other hazard control measures that can be implemented. Finally, the course moves on to how to use, fit and wear PPE and gives candidates an understanding of its physical and theoretical limitations.

This Personal Protective online training course with certificates, CPD approved, is intended to teach people why, and how, they should use PPE.

    Q: There are lots of online training courses and eLearning providers in the market to choose from, why should I purchase your courses rather than any others?

    Answer

    You are right. The benefits of investing in training and development, combined with the ease and cost effectiveness of online training has naturally led to the growth of digital training course developers and service providers.

    There are plenty of developers and distributors in the market available for you, like us, to choose from. But having gone through an extensive selection process ourselves, we partnered with the developer that we felt produced the best quality training courses at a cost effective rate for our clients.
