  All workplaces contain hazards that can affect your health and safety if not carefully controlled. As an employee it\u2019s important that you have an awareness of the risks so that you can spot the dangers and take action to prevent them from causing you harm.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

  Health and safety is often overlooked by businesses that operate from office premises. Indeed, there is a perception that office workers do not have to contend with risk, and that a health and safety policy is therefore unnecessary. However this is not the case.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

  In reality, office workers face a variety of potential hazards in the workplace. While these hazards may not be as dramatic as those endured by builders <\/span>or crane operators, they are nonetheless very real. As an employer you have a legal responsibility to provide as safe an environment as possible for your staff. There is a wide range of healthy and safety tasks you should complete, and factors you should consider, in order to achieve this. The Office Health and Safety training course is a perfect way of ensuring risks are reduced. <\/p>","hidden_content":"","download":"\/Course-Overviews---Commercial\/Office-Health-and-Safety---v1-Aug20.pdf","seo_title":"Office Health and Safety Training Course","meta_description":"Look here to book online.

        Manual handling training should be a regular occurrence for members of staff in a variety of different workplaces and roles as it can:<\/p>\r\n\r\n

        \r\n\t
        • Improve work skills<\/li>\r\n\t
        • Improve productivity<\/li>\r\n\t
        • Help identify unsafe workers<\/li>\r\n\t

        • Help identity risks in the work place<\/li>\r\n\t
        • Give staff confidence in their tasks<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n

          Raising Awareness<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

          Many employees simply aren't aware that there are physical risks involved with their job. Those that have this mindset often occur injuries through lack of training. Manual handling courses for employees <\/span>highlights potential dangers and helps staff understand the importunate of good practice. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

          Best Practice<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

          Manual handling training doesn't just point out the bad, it helps to rectify it by showing best practice. Employees will be taught the correct ways of doing things and how to be safe in the future within their work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

          Teaching in the Work Place<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

          Many companies who offer manual handling training can do so in the work place. Learning in an environment where you spend every day allows staff to directly assimilate the best practices into their own working day easily. This is likely to achieve better results and less injuries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

          Learning Through Experience<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

          There is no point in doing a sit-down class when it comes to manual handling training. That is like teaching somebody to drive without getting behind the wheel. Getting hands on is imperative for employees so they can physically feel how a task or technique should be properly carried out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

          Health Conscious Workforce<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

          The promotion of best practice in the work place equals healthy staff who are free of injury. This means they are more productive, efficient and safe. It can often lead some staff members on to being interested in First Aid courses. <\/span><\/p>\r\n
