Risk Assessment is not all about Health and Safety nowadays. Risk assessment is about providing the correct and appropriate level of training for your staff. I am often asked to recommend what level of training is correct a business. The HSE have produced a great way to look at your business in relation to First Aid Training:
As a minimum, a low-risk workplace such as a small office should have a first-aid box and a person appointed to take charge of first-aid arrangements, such as calling the emergency services if necessary. Employers must provide information about first-aid arrangements to their employees.
Workplaces where there are more significant health and safety risks are more likely to need a trained first-aider. A first-aid needs assessment will help employers decide what first aid arrangements are appropriate for their workplace. follow the link to find out more : http://www.hse.gov.uk/firstaid/needs-assessment.htm.
It is also the employer’s duty to ensure that any training provider that they select for the purposes of training is competent to deliver that training. Ruth Farmer Training offers OFQUAL accredited coursesor non accredited courses, depending what is relevant for your business. So whether it is First Aid, Paediatraic First Aid, Food safety, Health & Safety, Manual handling or actually Risk Assessment get in touch. Want to know more?
