Safety Training
Safety training tailored for your workplace to reduce risk and engage employees
What are the legal requirement relating to safety training?
Health and safety training is not optional. The law states that employers are responsible for providing health and safety information and training to their workers.
This includes but is not limited to:
- Workplace inductions
- Consulting with workers about health and safety
- How to identify hazards and assess and control associated risks
- Dealing with hazardous events
- Basic health and safety legislation
- Safe work practices
We can help with this by developing training to suit the needs of your organisation, or you can choose from our range of compliance-based courses in our Course Library. Our workplace health and safety training services cover:
- Workplace safety training needs analysis
- Development of safety training programs to suit different job roles
- Setting up custom learning management systems (training data base)
- Face to face training development and delivery
- Development and deployment of online learning

Working Instructions
We have developed hundreds of Work Instructions across a variety of industries, which provide step by step guidance on how to perform a particular job for example, operating a machine. We observe and document each step pictorially and at the same time conduct a risk assessment to identify any hazards associated with the tasks which are then mitigated in the Work Instruction. This will include a competency assessment requiring both learner and trainer to sign off the assessment that can then be uploaded into a system as evidence of competency. If a worker is injured or killed in the workplace, the safety authorities will request evidence that the worker was trained in the job they were required to perform, therefore Work Instructions are a critical part of any Safety System.
