Everyone who works for you needs to know how to work safely and without risks to health. TheHealth 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.
This is expanded by the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, which identify situations where health and safety training is particularly important, for example, when people start work, or are exposure to new or increased risks and where existing knowledge, ability and competence may have become rusty or need updating.
You must provide training during working hours and not at the expense of your employees. Special arrangements may be needed for part-timers or shift workers. You need to assess the risks to your employees while they are at work and to any other people who may be affected by the way you conduct your business.
Like many employers, you may not be in a position to provide this training on your own, this is where Kentec Training can help. As a professional training provider we can ensure that your staff receive effective and relevant training and instruction. We can also offer training on Saturdays, early evenings or even night shifts when required.
