"Training means
helping people to learn how to do something,
telling people what they should or should not do,
or simply giving them information.
Training isn’t
just about formal ‘classroom’ courses.
Whether you are an
employer or self-employed, are you sure that
you’re up to date with how to identify the hazards
and control the risks from your work?
Do you know how to
get help - from your trade association, your local
Chamber of Commerce, or your health and safety
enforcing authority?
Do you know what
you have to do about consulting your employees, or
their representatives, on health and safety
issues? If not, you would probably benefit from
some training. YOUR MANAGERS AND SUPERVISORS DO!
If you employ managers or supervisors they will
certainly need some training. They need to know
what you expect from them in terms of health and
safety, and how you expect them to deliver.
They need to
understand your health and safety policy, where
they fit in, and how you want health and safety
managed. They may also need training in the
specific hazards of your processes and how you
expect the risks to be controlled. YOUR EMPLOYEES
DO!
Everyone who works
for you, including self-employed people, need to
know how to work safely and without risks to
health. Like your supervisors, they need to know
about your health and safety policy, your
arrangements for implementing it, and the part
they play. They also need to know how they can
raise any health and safety concerns with you. You
should:
- take into
account the capabilities,
- training,
- knowledge
- and experience
of workers
