Health and Safety for managers

This course covers all of the learning outcomes contained within the Highfield Level Three Health and Safety Qualification. Note: completing this course does not result in this qualification, it will be necessary to take the exam through a registered centre.

However, the course provides you with excellent preparation for the exam, it’s a valuable revision piece if you already have this qualification, and it satisfies legal requirements for safety management training.

The Highfield qualification is designed to be relevant for all industries. I have chosen to relate the course concepts to catering and hospitality, because I’ve have worked in this field for over thirty years. The learning outcomes can easily be related to other industries. It is not feasible to explore every detail of regulations and relate those to specific industries. However, links are provided in the resources to help you find further information if required.
