How can training can make your workplace a safer environment?

Training your employees is a very important part of safety compliance within your organisation. Providing health and safety information through training helps you to ensure that the people who work for you know how to work safely and without risks to health. Furthermore, it develops a positive health and safety culture, and allows you to meet your legal duty to protect the health and safety of  your employees.

 

Suitable and sufficient training training will contribute towards making your employees competent in health and safety.  It can help your business avoid the distress that accidents and ill health cause. It can also help you avoid the financial costs of accidents and occupational ill health, such as damaged products, lost production, and demotivated staff.

 

The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 requires you to provide whatever information, instruction, training, and supervision as is necessary to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety at work of your employees.

 

You must consider what training your organisation needs, decide your training priorities, choose your training methods and resources, deliver the training, and ensure it has worked.
