Description
This online course provides an awareness of maintenance safety and the causes of maintenance-related accidents. Trainees will receive practical guidance regarding the potential dangers that exist for maintenance staff even in well-designed, generally secure environments staffed by experienced personnel.
Accident statistics and risk assessments show that maintenance work poses a greater risk to workers than everyday tasks. Employers of those who conduct maintenance have a legal duty to ensure staff understand the risks they face and the health and safety measures in place to protect them.

Maintenance-related accidents are a serious cause of concern. A recent yearly data analysis report indicates that nearly 25-30% of fatalities in the manufacturing industry in Great Britain were related to maintenance activities.
Performing maintenance tasks may expose workers to severe injuries or hazards, but major issues that merit particular attention due to severity of harm during plant or building maintenance are:
- Disturbing asbestos
