Health and Safety Training

Health and safety training is an essential for all organisations who aim to achieve a safe and successful workplace.

The reason for this is that in the UK alone, accidents at work kill 300 and injure over one million people a year whilst at work. Many of these incidents may well have been prevented if suitable measures had been taken to reduce the risk of workplace hazards, including effective health and safety training.

Benefits of health and safety training besides ensuring the health and safety of your employees include encouraging a positive health and safety culture within the workplace, the avoidance of unnecessary costs that are associated with accidents such as compensation, lost time and increased insurance premiums, minimise the risk of damaging property and products, and also protecting your company’s public image.

When considering your training needs you must identify:

• What is required by law?
• What is relevant to your business?
• What areas of your work present the highest risks?
• What knowledge your employees do/don’t have?
