The Level 2 Certificate in Risk Assessment
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require every employer and self-employed person to make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the health and safety risks to employees and others not in their employment to which their undertakings give rise, in order to put in place appropriate control measures. The Level 2 Certificate in Risk Assessment aims to provide supervisors and employees with knowledge and understanding of the risk assessment process and the skills required to undertake a suitable and sufficient risk assessment. The course has been developed by British Safety Council Awards in consultation with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and other interested parties. The course is based on the Health and Safety Executive’s Five Steps to Risk Assessment and the National Occupational Standards for Health and Safety, and is accredited by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) at Level 2 in the National Qualifications Framework. Risk Compliance is a registered British Safety Council training provider.
Further Training:
While the Certificate in Risk Assessment is a stand-alone qualification, it allows for lateral progression to other Level 2 qualifications covering specific risk assessments in COSHH, DSE, Fire and Manual Handling, and vertical progression to the IOSH Managing Safety
