Do you need an official training course to meet the requirements of the job? Or can you just "get on with it"? I was put in charge of Health and Safety when I started my old job - well, I was the most junior member of staff. There wasn't any training as such. Just a photocopied checklist I had to tick through, stuff like "First Aid box fully equipped" (ok you can ignore that one), "PPE appropriately stored", "fire exits clear of obstructions", "no trailing wires" and so on. Then I had to sign to say I'd checked the smoke alarm, the assistance alarms and the lift and they were in good working order, and add the sheet to the file. Alternatively, you can ask for money for a whole bunch of these.
