Here at OJ Health and Safety we understand the importance of training and our health and safety advisors are here to help!
Why do we need it?
To ensure that employees are able to carry out their tasks safely and without risks to health.
To show employees what they should and should not do when they carry out their workplace activities.
Employees should be suitably trained in all aspects of their job from the most menial to the riskiest activities in the workplace.
Appropriate employee training can reduce workplace incidents and accidents which in turn can lead to reduced costs, lower insurance premiums and fewer potential legal claims. It will also promote a healthier, safer, and happier workforce.
Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 requires employers to provide free of charge training, instruction and supervision necessary for all its employees. Those who have control over premises have to consider the safety of anyone who comes onto the premises, including contractors and customers.
Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 places a duty on employers to assess and manage risks to their employees and others arising from work activities. Employees must work safely in accordance with their training and the instructions given to them.
