Health & Safety Training

Who needs health and safety training?

All employers are legally obliged to train an individual or group in health and safety.

Health and Safety Legislation is criminal law in the UK, and by law, all companies who employ 5 or more persons are obliged to have a written health and safety policy document, which extends their duty of care to employees and non-employees (for example, visitors, contractors and members of the public).

Section 40 of the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 places the requirement on each company to prove that everything has been done to meet their duty of care and therefore the onus is on each company to prove their innocence in all aspects of health and safety.

CIEH Level 1 and 2 Health & Safety Training:

Our course is designed as a first level course to enable students to contribute to any Health and Safety management.

Organisations with active training programmes in health and safety have many advantages including:

• Reduced absenteeism
• Reduced turnover of staff
• Lower healthcare costs and injury related costs
• Reduced insurance premiums and compensation claims
• A more productive workforce
• More manageable working environment

Here at Surrey First Aid we aim to provide you with the essential knowledge and understanding of a realm of health and safety issues to help provide your employers, employees and clients with a safe and practical working environment.

What does it cost?

The course is held in house at a venue and times to suit your business, booking an inhouse course for your employees reduces the per delegate cost. Please phone to enquire the cost of this training to your business.
