In the construction industry, the appropriate training is an essential consideration for yourself and any workers you manage. Health and Safety training courses include First Aid training, Safe Pass, Working at Height and Abrasive Wheel training, amongst others. The relevant training for your employees will be specific to your industry and to the role each person plays in your organisation.
At ASM, we offer health and safety courses across Ireland on a public and private basic, delivering training courses in the classroom, in our training venues and on our client sites. Finding a course that works for you and your company is vital since it will impact on the safety and compliance of your work, and this means considering the cost, date, location and accreditation carefully.
Key Factors in Choosing a Health and Safety Training Provider
Choosing a training provider can be overwhelming if you don’t know what you are looking for, so we’ll take a look at the different factors involved with Health and Safety Training here.
Of course, it’s essential that you choose a training provider with the accreditation to deliver your training, and you should check that the credentials you are provided with are genuine. A reputable training provider will be proud of their reputation and qualifications and this information will not be difficult to find and verify.
Next, you should consider the experience and expertise your training provider offers. Again, a good training provider will be very happy to explain how long they have been offering training and what their industry experience is, and this should put your mind at ease. It is important to consider the practicalities of each training course. Is the course available locally to you and are there different training dates available?
Depending on the type of course you are looking at, you may want to consider whether the training is IOSH and/or PHECC approved, and you can find out more about the range of courses we offer when you visit our website or contact us today. Some training courses can be tailored to suit your organisation, while others are standardised.
Finally, you should consider the price of the training course and whether it includes everything you need. Most courses will include certification that may need refreshing in the future, so you can also find out about the availability and cost of refresher courses here.
