Health And Safety Training

Thursday, 23 April 2009

The health and safety training guides we've devised present a number of case studies which highlight the cost of accidents in a variety of industries before going on to provide guidance on how to work towards preventing such incidents. Prevention before cure is the accepted maxim in health and safety practice and this is reflected in all the health and safety training guides we produce. They are based on principles of organisation and planning, implementation and measurement of performance, audit and review.

These health and safety training guides are produced for managers in all industries. They explain how human factors are important in health and safety and how they need to be assessed and managed in the same way as any other risk factors. They provide practical advice on how to develop systems designed to take account of human capabilities and fallibilities.

Some of the areas covered by the health and safety training guides include guidance on the essential elements of devising safe working practices for people working:

* With or near electrical equipment: explaining hazards, equipment and procedures.
* Where underground services can be found and where work undertaken involves penetrating the ground or below surface level.
* With equipment which may be connected to the fixed mains supply or a locally generated supply, the use of which could result in an electric shock or burn or fire due to damage, wear or misuse.
* With hand-held electric arc welding equipment

Each of the training guides provide practical guidance, with easy to follow steps for employers who need to comply with the Health & Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992.

There are also health and safety training guides based on the effects of lighting in the workplace. Included within:

* Why is good lighting at work important?
* Costs of poor lighting to business
* Who is responsible?
* And more!
