HSE Training & Awareness
Health and Safety Training in the Workplace
Every year, hundreds of people die at work, whilst over a million are injured or made ill by the jobs they do. Even though it is a legal requirement for employers to provide information and training, many of these incidents are caused by a lack of awareness of the risks associated with the work and/or the control measures in place to protect them from harm. Everyone has the basic right to go to work and know that they are safe and without risks to health.
Properly focused health & safety training, given to those who actually need it, before they are placed at risk, starting at Induction and refreshed as necessary, will go a significant way to protecting your workers and your business.
Good health & safety training should be considered as an investment that helps to create a positive culture where working safely becomes second nature. This in turn can help to avoid the disruption and financial costs that accidents and occupational ill-health can have upon your business.
- My staff know how to do their jobs, why do they need extra training for health & safety?
- How will I know what training we need?
- Does the training have to be classroom based?
- Budgets are tight, I can’t afford to carry out more training?
Health and Safety Awareness Training
- Carry out a Training Needs Analysis to determine what training is required and who needs it.
- Produce a Health & Safety Skills Matrix.
- Develop a Training Plan to identify training priorities.
- Assist in the development, delivery or procurement of suitable, cost effective training resources, from Induction to Professional Qualification.
- Review/assess the effectiveness of training.
- The Training Needs Analysis will help to focus training where it is most needed.
- The Training Matrix will identify the different methods of training that can be used.
- The Training Plan will identify the training which benefits the most people?
- A structured Training Programme will help to ensure that workers have the training they need before they need to use it.
- A combination of both Classroom and On-the-Job training will allow your employees to demonstrate what they have learnt in the classroom, giving you a much more accurate assessment of their knowledge and competency.
- Good health & safety isn’t just about training people.
- It’s also about effective and timely communications.
- As part of our HSE Training Services, we can help you establish systems for effective health & safety briefing and instruction.
