How long is the Manufacturing Health & Safety Level 1 course?

It's made up of 5 microlessons, each under 5 minutes. Learners can finish it in one sitting or spread it over a few days, and 5Mins sends reminders until it is done.

Is there a certificate?

Yes. Learners get a certificate of completion once they finish every microlesson and complete the situational tests. The record is stored in 5Mins for audits.

Which level is right for my team?

Level 1 is for new and less experienced workers. Level 2 is for experienced operators who assess and escalate risks, and Level 3 is for supervisors who lead health and safety.

An event that could have caused harm but didn't, such as a load falling where someone had just been standing. The fourth microlesson explains how to report near misses and why they matter.

How often should staff take manufacturing health and safety training?

Train people before they start work on site, and refresh it when processes or areas change. In 5Mins you can set the course to repeat, for example every 12 months.

Can I try the course first?

Yes. Request a free sample lesson and book a short demo with our team. After your demo, we'll share sample lessons with you so you can see the format for yourself.
