About this training
Risk assessments are more useful when they reflect how work actually happens rather than simply completing a template. This awareness training explores identifying hazards, considering exposure and consequences, selecting controls and reviewing decisions. Employers can request discussion of their assessment process while recognising that specialist tasks may need additional technical input.
Provide examples of the tasks, environments and changes your teams assess, together with any forms or risk criteria they use. A provider can discuss whether these materials suit the proposed learning activities. Confirm content, availability and relevant credentials directly, and clarify that awareness training does not establish competence for specialist assessments.

Frequently asked questions
Can we use our existing risk assessment template?+
You can ask for activities based on your template and risk criteria. The actual provider must confirm whether these materials are suitable, whether adaptation is available and what relevant credentials support the proposed awareness training.
Does this qualify staff to assess specialist hazards?+
This listing describes awareness training, not evidence of competence for specialist assessments. Some tasks may need additional technical expertise. Discuss your intended application with the actual provider and confirm scope, availability and relevant credentials before booking.
Can training include a workplace task review?+
You can request a task-based discussion, subject to access, confidentiality and the boundaries of the proposed service. Ask the actual provider to confirm suitability, delivery availability and relevant credentials, distinguishing training activities from a formal assessment service.
