Booking is now available for safety training courses for Michaelmas Term 2024. Take a look at our current offers and new additions for each category.

Your place will be confirmed as ‘booked’ once you have completed the prerequisites for the workshop you wish to attend.
Note to staff & students:
Receiving adequate safety training before you start your work activities is a legal requirement, so speak to your line manager or supervisor about what training you need to undertake.
Note to supervisors & managers:
If you manage or supervise others, fulfil your legal responsibility by making sure your staff and students receive all the training necessary for their role.
