About this course

This program is for anyone who works in a workshop.

It’s all about working safely, looking at why accidents happen and how they can be prevented.

General workshop safety training is vital to ensuring that your staff follows best practices and remains safe in the workshop. No two workshops are the same, each with different hazards and machinery, this program concentrates on general safety awareness, safe working habits, and safe operating procedures.

In our General Workshop Safety Training program, we consider specific hazards that may be found in a workshop, such as dangerous equipment and hazardous substances. As not all hazards are relevant to everyone, these are optional – the information is provided as a pointer to further training that may be needed. For each type of hazard, it explains who needs to know about that particular type of hazard and what the dangers are.

This e-learning course only provides awareness education. Face-to-face training would be needed in addition to complete all-around skills and knowledge to be able to carry this forward practically in your organisation.

Each of our courses ends with a multiple-choice test to measure your knowledge of the material.

This General Workshop Safety Training course concludes with a 15-question multiple-choice test with a printable certificate. In addition, brief in-course questions guide the user through the sections of the training and are designed to reinforce learning and ensure maximum user engagement throughout.

As well as printable user certificates, training progress, and results are all stored centrally in your LMS (Learning Management System) and can be accessed at any time to reprint certificates, check and set pass marks, and act as proof of a commitment to ongoing legal compliance.

What does my certificate include?
