What is health and safety training?

The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 requires you to provide whatever information, instruction, training and supervision as is necessary to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety at work of your employees.

This is expanded by the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, which identify situations where health and safety training is particularly important, eg when people start work, on exposure to new or increased risks and where existing skills may have become rusty or need updating.

Why provide health and safety training?

Providing health and safety information and training helps you to:

• ensure that people who work for you know how to work safely and without risks to health;
• develop a positive health and safety culture, where safe and healthy working becomes second nature to everyone;
• meet your legal duty to protect the health and safety of your employees.
