The provision of safety training to staff is one of the most cost effective ways of reducing incidents at work.
It is also a legal requirement under the Health & Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and most other Health & Safety legislation that companies provide suitable an sufficient training in relation to their undertaking.
Regardless of legislation, trained employees are more likely to work safely, feel motivated and cared for by their company. With the positive effect of reducing lost time incidents and the associated hidden costs and drain on resources. It may also be possible to reduce insurance costs by evidencing a proactive approach to safety.

We are well aware that some Health and Safety Training can feel like death by power point. Sitting in a classroom with a PowerPoint presentation whilst someone drones on is neither inspiring or informative.

There are numerous legal reasons why employers should train staff. Almost every piece of health & safety legislation states employers must ensure "the provision of such information, instruction, training and supervision as is necessary to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety at work of employees"; Section 2 of Health & Safety at Work Act 1974.But there are other reasons why employers should train their staff.
For any company their biggest asset is its people, they are the life blood that companies cannot do without. Having people absent due to work related injury or illness is costly. like pouring water into a leaky bucket money will be wasted through sick leave, increased insurance costs and lost productivity.
Health and safety training helps control the risks which could cause death or injury and is part of an employers due diligence defence should an incident occur. It is about ensuring a safe and healthy working environment for all employees.
We aim to make safety training easy and accessible for all businesses. Achieving compliance, simplifying safety and making life easier for you is our ultimate goal.
