Unit introduction
The welfare of people working or operating within any engineering environment is of prime importance to all businesses. All workers should expect to be able to carry out their work in a safe manner. Health and safety in the workplace is about measures designed to protect the health and safety of employees, visitors and the general public who may be affected by workplace activities. Safety measures are concerned with controlling and reducing risks to anyone who might be affected by these activities. Health and safety is controlled largely by a wide range of legislation which the engineer needs to be aware of.
On completion of this unit you should:
1 Understand the key features of health and safety legislation and regulations
2 Know how to identify and control hazards in the workplace
3 Be able to carry out a risk assessment, identifying control measures
4 Understand the methods used when reporting and recording accidents and incidents.
This unit form a key component within many learning programmes since the content is highly applicable to many manufacturing, engineering and industrial situations.
Hi I currently have a NEBOSH general certificate would I still need to do the H&S element to obtain the full level 3 mech eng cerificate?
Thanks
Steve
The answer is yes as the course content and level are not the same, but given that you have NEBOSH you should be able to complete it with very little difficulty

Hi, I see for the full certificate it’s 180 hours. 12 months. If a person is working through the coursework quicker can it be completed in less than the 12 months .
Thanks
Alison

Yes, the 12 months is the support time we off for a certificate, but you can complete the course in a shorter time if you wish.
This is one of the advantages of our on-line courses.
Hi, I have done 2 awards, Electrical and Electronic Principles,And Mathematics for Engineering Technicians both Distinction Grades,If I was to do the Health and Safety in the engineering workplace award would this get me the Btec level 3 certificate in Electrical Engineering, & would I receive that from your company after I have shown proof that I achieved the grades.
Yes, providing you have a Pearson BTEC record of achievement for the units completed
hi im interested in taking a course with you , is it all online inc examinations what happens if i dont complete within 12 months , any extra costs i can expect ? thanks barry
