Help at hand for Health & Safety Induction and Refresher Training
E-learning specialists, Essential Training Solutions (ETS), in association with Llewellyn (Safety Advisors) Europe, has released an online course to enable busy employers to deliver a generic corporate induction to the staff who need it, when they need it.
Starting Work Safely covers Health and Safety and Fire and Evacuation, and has been approved by IOSH, the world’s biggest body for health and safety professionals. Starting Work Safely enables employers to deliver a validated, consistent message, on demand. It is assessment-based, so it evidences competence not just attendance – a much safer and effective alternative to a typical “tick-box” approach to induction.
Orchard Print Services in Daventry has already put its whole team through Starting Work Safely. Janet Head, Director, says: “We were looking for a structured assessment-based induction for new staff and needed to ensure that the knowledge of our current staff was up to date. Starting Work Safely allowed us to deliver validated training without disrupting the running of the business. The staff found the course easy to use and really enjoyed the interactive tutorials. The opportunity to self-test at every stage built confidence and reinforced knowledge whilst preparing them for their summative assessments. I have evidence that all staff have passed an approved training course, every member of staff has been awarded a certificate from IOSH, and the whole experience has been very successful.”
Starting Work Safely was designed by a highly experienced training consultant who has advised at a senior level in many industry sectors and been involved in the progression of e-learning for over 25 years. Starting Work Safely aids learning and retention by using appropriate e-learning tools combined with proven training methodology. ETS are an approved VTCT Centre, running and assessing online diplomas on the Government’s Qualifications and Credit Framework. This experience, together with top level customer support, ensures every client is in safe hands.
As well as providing this training solution direct to companies, ETS are also offering independent Safety Advisors the opportunity to add this course to their portfolios so they too can benefit from the advantages of quality e-learning.
