Health & Safety Training.
Preventing accidents and ill health caused by work is a key priority for everyone at work.
Managers and staff who are trained in health and safety help to:
- ensure that employees are not injured or made ill by the work they do;
- develop a positive health and safety culture, where safe and healthy working becomes second nature to everyone;
- meet an employers legal duty to protect the health and safety of employees.
Effective training:
- will contribute towards making managers and employees competent in health and safety;
- can help a business avoid the distress that accidents and ill health cause;
- can help avoid the financial costs of accidents and occupational ill health. Insurance doesn’t cover all these costs. Damaged products, lost production and demotivated staff can all result.
The law requires the provision of whatever information, instruction and training needed to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable.
