Health and Safety at work is the concern of everyone, and the role of the ‘Safety Rep’ is key within every workplace. Having proper training equips the Safety Rep with the correct skills and knowledge to carry out the role effectively, by identifying and mitigating any potential hazards, which reduces the risk of injuries and accidents at work.
SIPTU College offers two dedicated Health and Safety training courses – an innovative one-day Introductory course, the aim of which is to create awareness of the legislation and the worker’s right to be safe in the workplace and to promote the need for trained Safety Representatives in every workplace.
We also offer a QQI Level 5 Health and Safety course, delivered over six days, divided into two three-day sessions. This is a more in-depth programme and covers hazard identification, safety statements, legislation and much more. This course is delivered several times throughout the year in various learning centres around the country.
