What are the benefits of office safety training?
Protecting the health and wellbeing of workers is the most important reason. Furthermore, there are other strong moral, financial and legal reasons too.
Modern society doesn’t accept that people should suffer injury or ill-health because of their work yet workplace injuries and ill-health still cost the UK economy around £15 billion a year. So consider the costs involved if someone at your work has an accident….
Further, management of health and safety at work has the force of law. Both employers and individuals can be prosecuted under criminal law. And sued for compensation under civil law, if something goes wrong.
What are the office safety legal requirements?
There are several ways to fulfil legal requirements. Employers must make staff aware of the risks and how they are controlled.
So firstly, a responsible person must identify the risks. If you employ 5 or more staff, you must document this step known as a Risk Assessment. You may use our Office Risk Assessment template to help you with this if you wish. It is a simple form to aid thinking and record findings.
Once you have assessed the risk you will see that some risks can be reduced through awareness training.
So, this online Office Safety course provides staff with this awareness. And, where appropriate, encourages them to seek specific information relevant to their place of work.
