About This Course
This self-paced, online, distance learning course provides an in-depth exploration of Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations in the UK and how they compare to international health and safety frameworks. Workplace safety laws vary across different countries, but they share a common goal: protecting employees, preventing accidents, and ensuring compliance with occupational health standards.
This course examines UK HSE legislation, including the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and contrasts it with global equivalents, such as OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) in the US, Safe Work Australia, and the International Labour Organization (ILO) guidelines. It provides a comparative perspective on workplace risk management, legal responsibilities, and enforcement strategies worldwide.
A blended learning option is also available, combining online study with interactive support to enhance your understanding.
