Official Course Overview

The Health and Safety Induction Built on the Law, Not on a Slideshow

Every workplace has hazards. What decides whether they cause harm is whether the people working there can spot them and know what to do next. Thousands of workplace injuries in Ireland every year happen to people who were simply never shown the basics: what to report, where the exits are, how to lift, what the signage means. This Health and Safety Course is written line by line against that law, so the certificate you download at the end stands up in a real inspection instead of just looking good in a folder.

This is the induction course Irish employers roll out across whole teams, because it is short, clear and genuinely watchable. Six modules walk you through spotting workplace hazards, reporting hazards and near misses, risk assessments and the safety statement, the safe work environment, safe work activities from manual handling to work equipment, hazardous substances, fire safety and first aid, and workplace wellbeing, all in plain, simple wording with nothing padded to fill a syllabus.

Built on
  • Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005
  • Sections 19 and 20, risk assessment
  • Section 13, employee duties

The three rules that shape your training

  1. Sections 8 and 10

    Your employer owes you a safe system

    A safe place of work, safe systems, and the information, instruction, training and supervision needed to work safely. None of it is discretionary, and induction training for every employee is where that duty starts.

  2. Sections 19 and 20

    Risk assessment and a safety statement

    Hazards must be identified, risks assessed, and the findings written into a safety statement that is available to you. This course shows you how those assessments protect you and how to work with them instead of around them.

  3. Section 13

    Your own duties at work

    Take reasonable care, follow the training and procedures, use protective equipment properly, and report hazards, defects and incidents. Every module of this induction maps back to those duties.

  1. Spotting Workplace Hazards: Slips, Trips, Falls and Electrical Dangers

    Hazards

    The hazards behind most workplace injuries, and how to spot them before they put someone on the ground: wet floors and spills, trailing cables and cluttered walkways, damaged plugs and overloaded sockets, and the everyday habits that stop a hazard from ever becoming an accident.

  2. Managing Your Safety: Reporting Hazards, Near Misses and Risk Assessments

    Your duties

    Your own duties under Section 13 of the 2005 Act, how to report a hazard, near miss or incident so it actually gets fixed, why good housekeeping prevents accidents, and how risk assessments and the safety statement protect you every single day you are at work.

  3. Maintaining a Safe Work Environment: Access, Lighting, Temperature and Welfare

    Environment

    What every workplace owes the people in it: safe access and egress so nobody is trapped or blocked, adequate lighting for the work being done, workable temperatures, ventilation, and the welfare facilities Irish law requires every employer to provide.

  4. Carrying Out Safe Work Activities: Manual Handling, Working at Height and Equipment

    Safe practice

    The activities where most injuries happen and how to do each one safely: lifting and carrying without hurting your back, the basics of working at height on ladders and platforms, and using work equipment the way it was designed to be used, with guards in place and defects reported.

  5. Handling Substances and Responding to Emergencies, Fire Safety and First Aid

    Emergencies

    Hazardous substances and the warning labels that protect you, what to do the moment the fire alarm sounds, how fires start and spread, the emergency response every employee should know by heart, and the first aid provisions that matter in the minutes before help arrives.

  6. Addressing Workplace Wellbeing: Conflict, Stress and Drug and Alcohol Misuse

    Wellbeing

    Recognising work related stress in yourself and others, handling workplace conflict professionally, why drug and alcohol misuse at work is a safety issue for everyone around it, and the support you should expect from your employer. Finish this module and the final exam unlocks: pass it and your certificate downloads straight away.

A Word Between Friends

Let's be honest with you. The internet is full of scam training websites and reviews no real customer wrote. That's why we do the opposite. Every review we have was written by a real person who took a real course with us. No fakes. No hidden feedback. They all live on Google Maps, where we can't edit, delete or hide a single word. Now we hold the No.1 spot across the whole of Ireland, with the best reputation in the country and more real reviews than any other health and safety training company, built on 30 years of real work at honest prices. You don't have to take our word for it. Just tap the Verify us on Google button below and read every review. One last thing, friend to friend: scammers have started copying our company name and registering look-alike domains that use "Ireland Safety" or "Irish" in the name. Those websites are not us. Please be careful, and check the reviews on Google Maps before you trust.

Questions, Answered Plainly

Health and Safety Course in Ireland, Answered Plainly

The questions workers and employers send us every week about the Health and Safety Course, the certificate and what the HSA expects, answered without the sales talk.

What does the Health and Safety Course actually cover?

Every workplace has hazards. What decides whether they cause harm is whether the people working there can spot them and know what to do next. Thousands of workplace injuries in Ireland every year happen to people who were simply never shown the basics: what to report, where the exits are, how to lift, what the signage means. The course takes that risk apart step by step, then shows you the controls that remove it. This is the induction course Irish employers roll out across whole teams, because it is short, clear and genuinely watchable. Six modules walk you through spotting workplace hazards, reporting hazards and near misses, risk assessments and the safety statement, the safe work environment, safe work activities from manual handling to work equipment, hazardous substances, fire safety and first aid, and workplace wellbeing, all in plain, simple wording with nothing padded to fill a syllabus.

Is Health and Safety Course a legal requirement in Ireland?

Sections 8 and 10 is the short answer. A safe place of work, safe systems, and the information, instruction, training and supervision needed to work safely. None of it is discretionary, and induction training for every employee is where that duty starts. Our course is written directly against that wording, which is why it satisfies the duty rather than merely gesturing at it.

How much does the Health and Safety Course cost?

The Health and Safety Course is €30.00 per person, and that is the full price. Team bookings get a volume discount applied automatically, with one invoice and one account for all your records.

Can I do the Health and Safety Course online, on my phone?

Yes, the whole course is online and works on any phone, tablet or laptop. There is no classroom day and no fixed start time: register, log in and begin the Health and Safety Course whenever it suits you, at home or on a break at work. Progress saves automatically as you go.

How long does the Health and Safety Course take to complete?

About 45 minutes, and you do not have to do it in one sitting. Progress saves as you go, so you can stop after a lesson and pick it back up on another device. Your certificate is ready to download the moment you pass.

What certificate do I get, and when do I receive it?

You download your Health and Safety Course certificate as a PDF the moment you pass the exam, day or night. It shows your name, the course, the date and a verification link, so an employer or inspector can confirm it in seconds. A copy stays in your account whenever you need to print it again.

How long is the certificate valid in Ireland?

Renewal is recommended every three years, or sooner if your role or workplace changes. We track the date for you and send a reminder before it lapses, so no certificate in your team expires without anyone noticing. The refresher is the same short online course, so staying compliant never costs a working day.

What happens if I fail the exam?

Nothing bad. You can retake the exam as many times as you need at no extra cost, and you can revisit any lesson before trying again. Most learners pass first time, because the questions test exactly what the course just taught.

Is the practical assessment included?

This course is assessed by examination rather than by a practical, because the competence it builds is judgement rather than technique. You get unlimited attempts at the exam, at no extra cost.

Can I book this course for my whole team?

Yes, and the platform is built for it. One company account covers every employee, shows you at a glance who has finished and who has not, stores every certificate in one place and gives you a single invoice for the lot. Group bookings get the volume discount applied automatically in your cart.

Will employers and inspectors accept the certificate?

They do. We are an official accredited provider and the certificate carries a verification link an inspector can check in seconds. It is accepted by employers in Ireland, the UK and across the EU, and behind it stand our accreditations: HSA Compliant, QQI Assessed, CPD and RoSPA Accredited.
