The Online Environmental Awareness Training Course is designed for all employees with little or no existing knowledge of environmental issues, making it ideal for workplace induction and refresher training. Every workplace has an impact on the environment — through energy consumption, waste generation, water use, and emissions — and understanding how to minimise that impact is both a legal obligation and a business responsibility.
This course covers the key environmental issues that affect UK workplaces, the legal framework including the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Environment Act 2021, and the practical steps employees can take to reduce their environmental footprint. Topics include waste management and the duty of care, pollution prevention, energy efficiency, carbon reduction, water conservation, and the responsibilities of both employers and employees.
Suitable for all UK workplaces — including construction, manufacturing, offices, retail, hospitality, facilities management, and the public sector — the course is delivered fully online, allowing learners to complete training at their own pace. Upon successful completion, learners receive an instant digital Environmental Awareness Certificate, accredited by both RoSPA and CPD, providing recognised evidence of environmental awareness training.

Environmental awareness training gives employees a practical understanding of how their work activities can impact the environment. It covers key topics including waste management, pollution prevention, energy efficiency, water conservation, and the legal requirements that apply to UK workplaces under environmental legislation.
While there is no single law that requires every employee to complete environmental awareness training, UK employers have legal obligations under legislation such as the Environmental Protection Act 1990, the Environment Act 2021, and the duty of care for waste. Providing environmental training helps employers meet these obligations and avoid penalties.
This course is suitable for all employees regardless of their role or industry. It is particularly useful for those working in construction, manufacturing, facilities management, offices, retail, and hospitality. It is ideal for new starters as part of induction training or for existing staff needing a refresher.
The course takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. It is delivered fully online, so you can work through the modules at your own pace, pausing and resuming as needed.
Upon successful completion, you will receive an instant digital Environmental Awareness Certificate, accredited by both RoSPA and CPD. Your certificate is available to download immediately and can be used as evidence of training for employers and compliance records.
