Course description
Protecting the Environment at Work and Home (ROSPA Endorsed)
The healthy functioning of our planet’s ecosystems – our air, water, and land – and the vast diversity of life on Earth is essential. To achieve this everyone needs to understand how they can avoid pollution and waste, protect watercourses, promote biodiversity, and sustain natural resources.
This course will enable learners to identify the causes of pollution and waste, minimise negative impacts to the environment, and enhance the health and functioning of ecosystems where they live.
This eLearning provides awareness education. Face-to-face training, coaching or supervision would be needed in addition in order to complete the all-round skills and knowledge to be able to carry this forward practically in your organisation.
