Training

Training, as well as being useful in terms of the efficiency of a business is a requirement of health and safety legislation.

For example, s2((2)(c) of the Health and Safety At Work etc. Act 1974 requires of employers:

the provision of such information, instruction, training and supervision as is necessary to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety at work of his employees;

Training is also a requirement of other health and safety legislation, for example in:

	*The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999;*
	*The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998* (which includes a requirement for training in Abrasive Wheels);
	*The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002;*
	*The Personal Protective Equipment Regulations 1992*

Islay Safety Services is an accredited IOSH Course Provider. The two most popular IOSH courses are offered, but if demand is sufficient others can be arranged. For a description of each of the IOSH-certificated courses please click on the 'IOSH Courses' button to the left.

A number of general basic courses are also available, for example a 2-hour non-examined basic health and safety workshop to introduce the subject of health and safety to your employees - this is useful prior to a certificated course being undertaken.

While general courses are useful, it is often best to gear training to the needs of an organisation. For this reason a number of industry-specific courses have been developed and if required courses can be modified to suit your organisation. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Industry-specific courses includes:

	Agriculture
	Construction
	Workshop-based
	Office-based
	Food preparation and retailing
	Homeworking
