Online health and safety training for Irish businesses
When an incident happens, the HSA will ask whether your people were trained and whether you can prove it. Health and safety training is a legal requirement for every Irish employer under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. Access eLearning's Irish health and safety titles give your organisation training that covers every role, every risk level, and every location, built around Irish legislation and updated as HSA guidance changes.
- 1 bundle of comprehensive health and safety training
- 15 titles aligned to Irish legislation, HSA and FSAI guidance
- CPD accredited
Health and safety eLearning built for Irish workplaces
Designed to fit around busy schedules. Accessible on any device.
Built with the risks and rules that apply in Ireland in mind
Generic health and safety eLearning covers the basics. This bundle references the specific Irish legislation, HSA guidance, and sector requirements that govern how your organisation manages safety, so the training your people complete reflects the obligations they are held to, not those of a different jurisdiction.
Managers know exactly where their personal responsibility begins
Under Section 80 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, where a company commits a health and safety offence with the consent, connivance, or neglect of a director or manager, that individual is personally guilty of the offence. Management-level titles in this bundle address that liability directly, so managers understand what the law requires of them as individuals, not only of the organisation.
Covers every employee, from day one
Health and safety obligations apply across your entire workforce, not just those in high-risk roles. From the employee completing a manual handling module on day one to the office worker doing a DSE assessment, the bundle gives every role the specific knowledge it needs to work safely and within Irish law, before a gap in knowledge becomes a gap in protection.
Short, focused modules that fit around the working day
Each title runs between 15 and 25 minutes. A module your people can complete in one sitting means training gets done rather than deferred. Practical scenarios replace passive reading, so knowledge is there when it is needed.
A training record the HSA can rely on
If you have Access LMS, every learner gets a dated, CPD-accredited completion record. If the HSA asks for evidence of training, your safety team has it without searching spreadsheets or chasing paper certificates.
CPD accredited
Every title is CPD accredited by the CPD Certification Service, so every learner builds a verifiable professional development record alongside their compliance record.

Your questions answered
What is health and safety eLearning?
Health and safety eLearning is online training that gives every employee and manager the knowledge to work safely and within the law. Access eLearning's Irish health and safety titles are built for organisations: covering the full range of workplace risks, mapped to Irish legislation, and building a safety culture that protects your people so knowledge is there when it matters.
Why is health and safety training mandatory for Irish businesses?
The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 places a legal duty on every Irish employer to provide employees with appropriate instruction, training, and supervision. The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) enforces these obligations and expects organisations to demonstrate that training was in place, up to date, and appropriate for the roles involved.
Key mandatory areas include manual handling, fire safety, and first aid, with specific requirements set out in the General Application Regulations 2007. Failure to meet these obligations carries both organisational and personal liability for managers under Section 80 of the Act.
Is this health and safety eLearning accredited?
All titles are CPD accredited by the CPD Certification Service. Food Safety Level 1 and Level 2 are aligned to the FSAI's Guide to Food Safety Training.
Can employees access training on any device?
Through Access LMS, titles work on desktop, tablet, and mobile, so your people can complete training wherever they are. Titles are also available as SCORM files for organisations using their own learning management system, with any-device access dependent on that system's capabilities.
Does Access eLearning keep the training up to date as Irish legislation changes?
Yes. Access eLearning reviews and updates titles as HSA guidance and Irish legislation changes, so the training your employees complete reflects current requirements. When legislation changes, you do not need to source new training or manage updates yourself.
