Health, Safety and Environmental objectives
Providing health & safety training for employees not only helps them to acquire the skills to carry out their work safely, but also fulfils the legal responsibilities placed on employers by both The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.
So what training should we be looking to do?
It needs to cover all the topics within the arrangement section of your policy, e.g. manual handling, first aid, fire, COSHH etc; the degree and depth of training for individuals is really based on their role, position and complexity of the work being undertaken based on risk assessment. Typically, the following should be considered when planning company training.
- Induction training.
- Work procedures.
- Job specific training e.g. (hazardous substance trg)
- Role specific training e.g. (manager needing a good level of h & s knowledge)
- Site specific training (machinery, layout and operation)
- Specialist trg e.g. (legionella trg)
