Training is a fundamental requirement under The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and is seen as a necessity to help protect the health and safety of your employees whilst at work.
Please see the HSE Guidance on Health and Safety Training.
Why provide health and safety training?
Everyone within the business needs health and safety training whether you’re a director, supervisor or employee, or if you are self-employed, if the person is working under your control or direction, they will all need the training to work safely.
Training comes in many forms from classroom-based training to the now ever-increasing e-learning, to provide compliance with your legislative responsibilities. As an organisation you must decide what training you need, in what format and then prioritise who and what training should be carried out, with the ultimate aim of reducing risk and complying with your legislative responsibilities.
Assist Health & Safety Services Ltd can offer all forms of training from classroom-based training to an extensive library of e-learning courses. Please take a look at the courses available and if you would like more information then please get in touch.
