Health & Safety Training

The health and safety of employees at work is an integral element of any companies' success. There are over 1 million work related injuries every year in the United Kingdom alone, many of which could easily have been avoided if the correct training had been provided and the appropriate precautions taken. The practical undertaking of health and safety training in the workplace can prevent a plethora of injuries and ill-health that can be caused at work.

Aims & Objectives

Training itself has three primary intentions:

Firstly, to help people to learn new skills or theories
Secondly, to convey to people the correct and safe thing to do
Thirdly, to provide or disseminate positive health and safety messages about the business to the staff.

More businesses than you probably realise fail to met the standards for correct and useful workplace health and safety training, as budget or time constraints will often limit the reach of their message.

oasys Training And Safety Services provide affordable and professional training and will leave you with the tools and knowledge to ensure the safety of your organisation on an on-going basis.

Regulations

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974

This act is in place to ensure the safety health and wellbeing of employees, visitors and the public.

Whether the workplace is an office, construction site, shop, exhibition, show, or other business, this legislation requires the employer to meet reasonable standards of instruction, training and supervision, including the provision of sufficient information in relation to ensuring their staff / visitors are in a safe, healthy environment.

There are a number of other key regulations to ensure workplace health and safety, these include:

The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999

The Safety Representatives and Safety Committees Regulations 1977

Health and Safety (Consultation with Employees) Regulations 1996

Of course, these regulations do not cover all areas of workplace health and safety and there are a multitude of other regulations that look after other key areas, such as manual handling, first aid, fire risk assessment, CoSHH and more. Each regulation will typically require separate and specific duties to be performed and adhered to by employees, managers, directors etc.

Some of the major benefits of Workplace Health & Safety Training include:

Employees are able to go about their work aware of the risk they can pose to themselves and their colleagues
Your organisation will meet the legal requirement for the provision of health and safety to your employees
Your organisation will have a far greater chance of avoiding both the physical and financial loss should a major incident occur
The working environment will be one that actively promotes a healthy and safe environment for all.
