About Health & Safety Awareness Training
Over 200 people are killed each year in accidents at work and over one million people are injured. Over two million suffer illnesses caused by, or made worse by, their work.Preventing accidents and ill health caused by work is a key priority for everyone at work. As the owner or manager of a business you know that competent employees are valuable.
Providing health and safety information and training helps you to:
- Ensure your employees are not injured or made ill by the work they do;
- Develop a positive health and safety culture, where safe and healthy working becomes second nature to everyone;
- Find out how you could manage health and safety better;
- Meet your legal duty to protect the health and safety of your employees.
The law requires that you provide whatever information, instruction and training is needed to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of your employees.
Additionally the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations require that managers should be aware of legislation and be competent to manage health and safety effectively.
Results you should expect
We realise that organisations have little spare capacity to release staff for training and have worked with our clients to deliver tailored training sessions to fit the needs of the business.
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.
In fact everyone who works for you, including self-employed people,needs 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.
What we can be sure of is that we will deliver effective training that:
- Will contribute towards making your employees competent in health and safety;
- Can help your business avoid the distress that accidents and ill health cause;
- Can help you avoid the financial costs of accidents and occupational ill health.
Don’t forget that your insurance doesn’t cover all these costs. Damaged products, lost production and demotivated staff can all result.

J Cooke
HR Advisor
As part of the competent person support MESH provided to the Discovery Channel throughout 2008 was a programme of training for line management. This started with training the senior management team and was then cascaded through to all levels of management and covered around 150 managers.
The training was designed to raise awareness of health and safety issues relevant to the organisation and included a good level of interactivity through the inclusion of pertinent case studies. The sessions were planned to last for 2.5 hours in order to minimise disruption on the busy schedules the managers have. Feedback from all that attended was that the training was exceptionally well received.
