Additional Health and Safety Training

Health and safety training is crucial for any workplace. It ensures that employees know how to handle emergencies and maintain a safe environment. This training covers various aspects, including fire safety training, which teaches staff how to use fire extinguishers and follow evacuation plans.

Organisations can also benefit from specialised training for specific sectors, such as the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). This training is essential for those working with young children. It covers first aid, safeguarding, and creating a safe learning environment.

The Department of Education mandates that staff in schools and childcare settings complete health and safety courses. This ensures that all institutions adhere to national safety standards.

Here are some common types of training available:

• Fire Safety Training: Instructs employees on how to respond to fire emergencies, including using fire extinguishers and evacuating buildings safely.
• Manual Handling Training: Teaches safe lifting techniques to avoid injuries.
• Risk Assessment Training: Helps identify potential hazards in the workplace and how to mitigate them.

Ensuring employees have the appropriate training not only complies with legal requirements but also fosters a safe and healthy work environment.
