Training Courses
HSD offer a wide range of health and safety training courses to Queen Mary University of London staff and postgraduate research students and, on request, external organisations. To see which courses are currently being delivered and how, please study the course descriptions below.
Our scheduled health & safety training courses ensure that the training needs of Queen Mary are met. Staff and postgraduate research students must ensure that they fulfill all mandatory health and safety training requirements. The Health and Safety Training Policy outlines QM’s approach to mandatory training and explains how Schools, Institutes and Directorates should be utilising the following documents:
Non-attendance: Our courses are usually free for all staff and PhD students to attend. However, there is a cost to Queen Mary involved in this provision and every non-attendance of a booked participant impacts our resources. To counteract this, it has been agreed by the Vice-Principal for Teaching and Learning and the Chief Governance Officer that a charge for non-attendance can be imposed.
Bookings:
Please book on via the CPD Platform, if you have any issues gaining access please contact the IT Helpdesk.
On-line and Classroom based Training: is open and free upon registration to all QM staff and postgraduates (please note - certain nationally accredited courses provided may have a fee).

External organisations: non-accredited H&S training courses are open to external organisations and bookable via the External Organisation H&S Training Request Form. Please note that courses are geared towards QM arrangements and there is normally a fee chargeable - see QM e-Shop for details.
