Official Course Overview
Health & Safety Induction for Employees 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. 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. Real footage and plain, simple wording, with nothing padded to fill a syllabus. In a kitchen, a restaurant or a food shop it sits naturally beside your HACCP training: one keeps the food safe, the other keeps your people safe.

Health and Safety Course Reviews from Our Learners
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 comes from a real person who took a real course with us. No fakes. No hidden feedback. They are all on Google Maps, where we can't edit or rewrite them. Be especially careful with scam websites showing reviews that appear to come from platforms such as Reviews.io. Reviews displayed on their own website may be fake, because the website owner can add, edit or fabricate them directly in the site code. Always verify the business on Google Maps instead. Today, we hold the No.1 spot across Ireland, with 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.

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.
01
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. 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. Real footage and plain, simple wording, with nothing padded to fill a syllabus. In a kitchen, a restaurant or a food shop it sits naturally beside your HACCP training: one keeps the food safe, the other keeps your people safe.
02
Is Health and Safety Training 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. Our course is written directly against that wording, which is why it satisfies the duty rather than merely gesturing at it.
03
Who needs to take the Health and Safety Course?
Every employee in Ireland, in any sector: kitchen and restaurant teams, retail and hospitality staff, office and admin workers, construction and trades, warehousing and logistics, healthcare and education. It is the ideal first day induction for new starters and a clean refresher for experienced staff, and for food businesses it pairs naturally with HACCP food safety training.
04
How much does the Health and Safety Course cost?
The Health and Safety Course is €32.00 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.
05
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.
06
How long does the Health and Safety Course take to complete?
About 1-2 hours, 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.
07
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.
08
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.
09
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.
10
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.
11
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.
12
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.
13
Is this course useful for food businesses that already hold HACCP certificates?
Yes, and the two work together. HACCP training covers the safety of the food you serve; this Health and Safety Course covers the safety of the people who serve it: slips in a wet kitchen, manual handling of deliveries, fire safety, first aid and reporting hazards before they hurt someone. The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 applies to every Irish workplace, including every restaurant, cafe and food shop, so most food businesses train their teams in both.
14
Does the Health and Safety Course count as a workplace safety induction?
Yes. The six modules follow exactly what an induction has to deliver under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005: hazard spotting, reporting, risk assessments, safe work practices, emergencies and wellbeing. Many employers assign it before day one, so a new starter walks in already holding a verifiable Health and Safety Certificate.
