Safety Audits

All of these things can happen if employees don’t try to protect themselves and their fellow workers from potential hazards. One way to help make the workplace safer is to conduct a safety audit. A safety audit shows how safe work areas really are. Employees need to take responsibility for their own safety, and help themselves and their fellow workers by getting involved in the safety audit process.
The course objective is to help participants to; understand their role in the audit process, explain how to use PPE, administrative and engineering controls to protect themselves from hazards in their work areas, explain the value of recognizing and fixing equipments with potential safety problems.

Risk assessment
Accidents and ill health by work cost time and money in addition to its moral and legal effects. Insurance policies don’t cover all accidents costs and may only pay for serious injuries or damage. Other costs arising from accidents must be met by you and can have a dramatic impact on your business. Simple measures such as risk assessment can stop them happening, saving you time and money.
Risk assessment is a process of identifying hazards and determining their associated risks. In practice, a risk assessment in the workplace is an examination of what could cause harm to people in that particular environment. The outcome is an action plan which helps employers to focus attention on reducing risks where it is needed and to prioritize any action to safeguard against harm occurring to people. The course will introduce delegates to the importance of risk assessments and how to conduct them.
By the end of this course attendees will be motivated, competent and confident in conducting risk assessments at their workplace.

CPR, AED-National Safety Council (NSC-USA) course
This is a National Safety Council (NSC) of the USA course. This NSC course was chosen for its suitability with our Blended Learning approach and for being superior in its first aid contents and instructor’s support in comparison to many UK first aid offerings. All the contents are provided and updated by The NSC. This course is based on the New2005 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) Science with Treatment recommendations. The new Guidelines for CPR instruction use Video Self Instruction or VSI (watch-while-you-practice video program).
CPR research results have shown that 61% of the time ventilations were too high (too much breathing) causing too much time to elapse between compressions. When pumping was done it was too shallow 37% this percentage was found both in hospital and out of hospital settings. More than quarter of the time (28%) compression rate was too slow. These studies show there is plenty of improvement in CPR techniques and the good news is that our CPR new courses can help you counteract these trends. This VSI technique has been proven to help students to learn, retain and perform CPR properly and competently.
