- Forklift Truck Training The HSE Approved Code of Practice also states that employers have a responsibility to provide adequate supervision. It is therefore essential that supervisors have sufficient training and knowledge to recognise safe and unsafe practices in their working environment.
- First Aid Training The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work.
- Fire Marshal/Warden Training The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order states that the employer’s designated responsible person must appoint and provide adequate training for one or more competent persons to assist in undertaking preventive and protective fire measures in the workplace.
- Manual Handling Training Incorrect manual handling is one of the most common causes of injury at work. It causes work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) which account for over a third of all workplace injuries.
- Safe Working at Height Falls from height are one of the biggest causes of workplace fatalities and major injuries. Working at Height Regulations specify that it is an employer’s duty to ensure that people working at height have sufficient skills, knowledge and experience.
