New Course
Navigation
In a bid to enable companies to decide the policies, procedures and trained
personnel they require to comply with Health and Safety Legislation, St John
Ambulance have devised a course which will ensure companies are able to protect
the well-being of their employees.
The Working Safety (IOSH) courses' main aim is to increase the number of both
employers and employees' knowledge of what their responsibilities are and how
their work activities affect not just themselves but also their colleagues.
Some of the areas covered in the course are as follows:
- Common safety hazards.
- Causes of injury in the workplace.
- The working environment.
- Reporting of hazards.
- Duties of employers and employees.
- Safe systems of work.
Mr. Philip Cheung, Yorkshire-based Marketing Projects Officer, said:
"The course is there to reduce company costs and show employees that their
well-being is protected.
"We as a charity are trying to let everybody know that we are more than
just specialists in First Aid training."
