Other health and Safety courses that cover specific aspects of the candidate’s role for example if they work a lot with computers then the DSE Awareness course would be useful to them. If they are going to be handling chemicals then the more detailed COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations) course would cover this more thoroughly, and if they are going to be working alone at any point then the Introduction to Personal Safety for Lone Workers course would be a great next step.
