Training

Because 88% of all accidents are primarily caused by individuals acting unsafely, training in health and safety is essential to ensure people carry out their jobs in a safe, effective manner.

Training can be general, such as the induction a member of staff will receive on arrival that includes background on who they are working for, familiarisation with the building, getting to know fellow workers and managers and their roles, introduction to manual handling, fire procedures, first aid, accident reporting, rules, working times, etc.

Specific training focuses on the detailed nature of a particular job. We offer assistance in setting up general and specific training appropriate to the size and work of your organization. We also ensure that systems are set up for recording training in employees’ files, and indicate what job specific training should not be completed in-house.

We offer a number of courses including:

Health and Safety: Fact from Fiction: A one-day workshop for wardens, trustees, members of management committees and others interested in a practical and positive health and safety approach. download brochure
