Health and Safety Training and Courses
We offer a range of health and safety training course to help train your staff. More than 200 people are killed every year in accidents in the workplace and more than one million are injured every year so health and safety in the workplace is vital.
On top of these figures, more than two million suffer illnesses caused by, or made worse by, their working environment or work, so preventing accidents and ill health caused by work should be a key priority for business owners and managers.
As the owner or manager of any successful business, you know that competent employees are valuable. Your business probably depends on them so health and safety training for staff in your business is invaluable too.
Providing health & safety information and training for your staff will help you to:
- Ensure you or your employees don’t get injured at work or made ill by the work they do.
- Develop a positive health & safety culture within your company, where safe & healthy working becomes second nature to everyone.
- Find out more about how you could manage health and safety better for your staff.
- Meet your legal obligations to protect the health & safety of your employees.
Effective training:
- Will help your employees to become competent in health & safety.
- Can help your company avoid the often-damaging financial costs of accidents & occupational ill health.
- Can help your business avoid distress that accidents and ill health cause.
- Your insurance won’t cover all losses,
- Don't forget that your insurance doesn't cover all losses. Damaged products, lost production and demotivated staff can all result.
- The law requires that you provide whatever information, instruction and training is needed to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health & safety of your employees.
What is health and safety training?
Training means helping people to learn how to do something, telling people what they should or (often as important) should not do, or simply giving them information. Training isn't just about formal 'classroom' courses and obtaining 'tickets' (certificates) to work.
