Other health and Safety courses that go hand in hand with this course would be the DSE Awareness course. If they are also going to be handling chemicals then the more detailed COSHH course would cover this more thoroughly, and if they are going to be working alone at any point then the Introduction to Personal Safety for Lone Workers course would be a great next step.
