Health and Safety for Beginners Forums

I've been lucky enough to do both and found both to be very different, but equally valuable - it completely depends on your motivations for doing the course.

Thanks very much for the advice everyone - think there's enough there for me to consider!

Hello everyone, Can anyone tell me if there are any good suppliers of Training Cd Roms at a "reasonable price" which I can use for the admin staff in our branches? I used to work for a Global Company and they had great CD Rom training packages - but that type of expenditure is not availabl...

Whenever you start a company, nobody knows what RIDDOR's have taken place in the past 12 months - so I always give a call to the HSE and ask for a breakdown of the RIDDOR information for the past 2 years.
