Effective Health and Safety Training Avoids Time Wasting

May 28, 2014 - PRLog -- The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recently surveyed 45 small firms and discovered that various myths about health and safety are causing unnecessary confusion and much wasted time. Their report covered some really absurd activities that employers thought they needed to do. For example, one business had developed a risk assessment for using a tape measure and another had written guidelines for walking upstairs.

Most were concerned about complying with the law and keeping their workforce safe, but admitted that they were not sure if they were taking the correct action on health and safety issues. They would be helped by some input from recognised experts such as those at Dr Alistair Bromhead Ltd.

Good Training to Save Valuable Time

Training some health and safety champions would save lots of time and allow their colleagues to get on with the work they were meant to be doing. Through the training, the champions would quickly learn to avoid the myths about health and safety compliance that the HSE found to be widespread, and to concentrate on what really matters. The businesses would be confident about how to manage health and safety sensibly and comply with the law.

The Alistair Bromhead City & Guilds (C&G) accredited Health & Safety Course is usually run on-site so that it can be tailored precisely to the needs of the business concerned. But more than one small local organisation could join forces to gain the benefits of a single course.  Over two days, the course leads to a C&G Certificate, and the cost includes the C&G registration and certification for each candidate.

The Long Term Savings

The course covers the legislation and risk assessment practice relating to whatever suits the needs of the businesses involved, for example, machinery, manual handling, fire, noise and hazardous substances.

It is always tailored to specific topics of interest and delivered with a practical perspective. Delegates learn how to assess and deal with the unique risks of the companies’ operations. Whatever the size of the organisation, health and safety training always saves in the long term, on time, stress and therefore, money.
