Health and Safety Training Courses

Every year there are thousands of reported accidents in the workplace. The latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) figures for 2008/09 are as follows:

1.2 million people who worked during last year were suffering from an illness believed was caused or made worst by their current or past work.
2156 people died of Mesothelioma (2007) and thousands more from other occupational cancers and lung diseases.
180 workers were killed at work.
131,895 other injuries to employees were reported under RIDDOR.
246,000 reportable injuries occured.
29.3 million working days were lost overall 24.6 million due to work-related ill health and 4.7 million due to workplace injury.

As you can see, these figures are too significant to be overlooked.

The effective management of Health and Safety in the workplace is the key to eliminating or reducing hazards so that people are not injured, killed or affected by illness or disease whilst at work. Every year the Health and Safety regulations become more complex and it is difficult for employers to keep up-to-date with the latest legislation.

The case for effective management of occupational health and safety is overwhelming. It is not just regulatory and ethical issues. Studies have shown there are also sound economic reasons for reducing work-related accidents and ill health and for improving the quality of your work environment.

The costs of accidents and ill-health can have a significant negative effect on your organisation. Can you demonstrate that you have well managed health and safety system in your workplace?

Our training courses are accredited by the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) and the courses are held either at your company premises or at a centralised location where we run Public Courses.
