Safety, Health and Environment Technician Apprenticeship

During the apprenticeship, you will develop knowledge and skills in:

• Health and Safety Law and legal responsibilities.
• Health, safety and environmental terminology and requirements.
• Communicating effectively through presentations, toolbox talks and written reports.
• Preparing and maintaining workplace records and documentation.
• Working effectively with internal and external stakeholders.
• Developing and promoting a positive safety, health and environmental culture.
• Identifying hazards and evaluating workplace risks.
• Advising on safe systems of work and workplace practices.
• Accident, incident and dangerous occurrence investigations.
• Analysing information and presenting findings to management teams.
• Supporting continuous improvement in health, safety and environmental performance.

The apprenticeship culminates in an independent End-Point Assessment (EPA), designed to assess the apprentice’s ability to apply their knowledge and skills within a real workplace environment.

The EPA consists of:

• Project Report
• Presentation
• Multiple Choice Examination
• Professional Discussion

The assessment evaluates the learner’s confidence, competence and ability to understand health and safety requirements while delivering improvements and innovation within their organisation.

Every employer is different and therefore the entry requirements can vary. As a guide, you will need GCSE grade 4 in English and Maths. However, we will work with you and provide additional support to help you achieve their requirements, either prior to your apprenticeship or during the delivery of your programme.

If you are 19 or over, functional skills are not required unless requested by the apprentice’s employer.
