eLearning: Personal safety training

Personal safety is a person's right to go about their everyday life free from the threat or fear of psychological, emotional, and physical harm from others.

Employers have a responsibility to safeguard their employees' personal safety. There is also plenty that individual workers can do to ensure they are as safe as possible while going about their job. In this Health and Safety course, you will see how you can ensure your own personal safety both in and out of work.
