For managers and owners of businesses, the safety and security of your personnel should be of primary importance. Not only will this ensure that employees are well taken care of but it may also mitigate any potential liability in case of an emergency. One of the best ways to ensure this is by providing health and safety training courses to employees. This will give employees an added benefit of knowing what to do and how to react in case of an emergency and will also give everyone a sense of security that they will be able to handle any issue in and out of the workplace. In general, employees will feel better and this provides a more positive work place. Benefits of learning health and safety procedures Businesses across the country lose billions of dollars annually due to accidents and illness. There are two ways employers typically provide training to assist in preventing these issues. The first is to allow for training of all employees in full or in part so every employee can learn what they can about health and safety. Or, some employers will provide training to only key personnel who will then lead others in ensuring everyone knows the information they need to ensure a safe work place. Either method accomplishes the task of reducing the potential for accident and illness. Employees will understand what to do in case of emergency, how to care for someone else who needs assistance and prevention of illness. This benefits both the employer and employee. The employer benefits by reducing the costs involved with absent employees from illness. It may also prevent work place accidents. Employees will benefit by an increased awareness of health and safety. Types of courses available There are various types of health and safety training courses available. There are all inclusive classes for those who want an overview of possible issues. Then, there are also some targeted classes available that are designed to inform on very specific topics. Some of the possible training classes that are available include: • Fire safety • Disaster preparedness • First aid • Stress management • Healthy eating • Exercise in the workplace • Healthy work habits • Illness prevention • Risk assessment • Organisational psychology For those who are assigned the task of taking these classes, the goal is to learn what risks may be present in the work place and what can be done to avoid or reduce the potential for a problem. Team leaders may be responsible for ensuring the group is safe and individuals can learn what they can do to remain safe and healthy. For anyone attending these classes there is a clear benefit with the possible reduction of illness and accident. Employees will feel safer and more secure with this knowledge. Employers who offer such classes can be sure they are doing all they can to ensure the health and safety of the employees. This will allow companies to lose less money annually and may also mitigate risk in case of legal action.
