Compliance & Workplace Safety Training
Safety training in the workplace is essential for the well-being of employees, as well as for the overall success of the organisation. Here at FAB we offer a variety of courses to ensure that employees are trained in the necessary safety protocols for their specific workplace environment and that meet the criteria set by the regulatory body, the HSE.
We have several courses that are typically required for all employees regardless of their position or job duties. Other courses may be more specific to certain industries or job roles such as fire wardens and marshals and some workplaces may also have the need for specialised training such as hazardous materials handling.
It's important for employers to assess the specific safety risks present in their workplace and ensure that employees receive the appropriate training. By investing in safety training, employers can help prevent accidents, injuries, and even fatalities on the job, while also increasing productivity and morale among employees.
Fire Safety
Fire safety refers to the practices, measures, and protocols designed to prevent fires and protect people, property, and the environment in the event of a fire. It includes identifying potential fire hazards, implementing fire prevention strategies, ensuring safe building design, and maintaining proper fire detection and suppression systems. Fire safety also involves educating individuals about evacuation procedures, the use of fire-fighting equipment, and emergency response actions. Effective fire safety measures are essential to minimize risks, save lives, and comply with safety regulations and standards.
Health & Safety
Health and safety refers to the policies, procedures, and practices aimed at ensuring the well-being and protection of individuals in workplaces and other environments. It involves identifying and managing risks to prevent accidents, injuries, and illnesses, while promoting a culture of safety and compliance with legal regulations. Key aspects include risk assessments, the use of protective equipment, safe work practices, and employee training. Effective health and safety measures create a secure environment, reduce harm, and support the physical and mental well-being of everyone involved.
Risk Assessment
Risk assessment is a crucial process that helps identify potential hazards in the workplace, allowing for the implementation of measures to prevent accidents and injuries. It involves evaluating the likelihood and severity of risks and taking steps to mitigate or eliminate them. Conducting regular risk assessments can help ensure the safety of employees and visitors, as well as protect the organisation from costly lawsuits and damage to its reputation. Proper training equips employees with the knowledge and skills needed to recognise and respond to risks in the workplace. It also helps create a culture of safety where everyone is aware of their responsibilities and understands how to act in different situations.
COSHH
COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) training equips individuals with the knowledge and skills to safely handle, store, and manage hazardous substances in the workplace. It covers key aspects such as identifying harmful substances, understanding the associated risks, interpreting safety data sheets, and implementing control measures to minimise exposure. COSHH training also emphasises the importance of using personal protective equipment (PPE), proper storage and disposal practices, and emergency response procedures. By promoting awareness and compliance, COSHH training helps ensure the safety and well-being of employees and prevents health risks related to hazardous substances.
Working at Height
Working at height training provides individuals with the knowledge and skills to safely perform tasks at elevated levels, minimising the risk of falls and related injuries. It covers key topics such as identifying hazards, using fall prevention and protection equipment, understanding safe working practices, and conducting risk assessments. The training emphasises proper use of ladders, scaffolding, and harnesses, as well as emergency response procedures. By fostering awareness and adherence to safety regulations, working at height training ensures the safety of workers and compliance with legal standards in high-risk environments.
Environmental Sustainability
In the workplace, environmental sustainability involves adopting practices that reduce the organisation’s ecological footprint while fostering a culture of responsibility and awareness. This includes implementing energy-efficient technologies, reducing waste through recycling and digitalisation, encouraging sustainable commuting options, and sourcing eco-friendly materials. By integrating sustainability into business operations and decision-making, workplaces not only contribute to environmental preservation but also enhance their reputation, cut costs, and meet growing expectations from employees, customers, and stakeholders to act responsibly toward the planet.
