This Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace is designed to introduce learners to the essential principles of workplace health and safety and the human factors that influence safe behaviour.
Learners will explore how common hazards, such as slips, trips and falls, poor manual handling, unsafe interaction with work equipment, hazardous substances and poorly set-up workstations, arise and how they are controlled.
TLM Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace
The TLM Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace has been developed with employers and centres across a wide range of sectors to support safe, confident entry into work. It equips non-specialist staff, volunteers, apprentices and returners with the everyday knowledge and behaviours that prevent harm and support legal duties. The qualification emphasises that safety is everyone’s responsibility and that small, consistent actions make the biggest difference.
Designed to complement local inductions, the Award focuses on practical, sector-neutral fundamentals that apply in offices, retail, hospitality, warehousing and light industrial settings. Learners build competence in spotting common hazards, choosing simple control measures, using PPE correctly, keeping work areas tidy and hygienic, reporting concerns promptly, and responding appropriately to fire and first-aid incidents.
