CIEH Level 2 Award in Principles of Risk Assessment
The CFB is currently able to deliver the Level 2 Award in Principles of Risk Assessment using our own accredited tutor. This new qualification is designed to help improve the workplace culture for occupational health and safety by enabling learners to
understand the basic principles of risk assessment.
It was created in response to industry requirements for all employees to be risk aware. Although not
all employees will be expected to undertake risk assessments themselves, they may be asked to contribute to the process and will be expected to act always
to protect their own health and safety and that of others.
- Ability to contribute both to the maintenance of a safe work environment and to the process of formal risk assessment
- Understand the legal requirements for risk assessment
- Understand the principles of risk assessment including:
- hazards, risks and control measures
- the five steps of risk assessment
- the hierarchy of control
- risk assessment review and record keeping
CIEH Level 3 Award in Risk Assessment Principles and Practice
In September of 2010 ten CFB officers were awarded the Level 3 Award after successfully
completing a program of training and the submission of a Risk Assessment project.
It is our aim to continue with the development of the Brigades Health and Safety Policy and pursuing its objectives by a program of training that will
see all our staff trained to the Level 2 Award, and all officers to the Level 3 Award.
