Your guide to choosing a health and safety training provider
If you’re looking for truly tailored health and safety training, you need to find a provider who can create solutions for your specific business and the needs of your market sector.
Here’s how to find the right health and safety training provider for you.
What are your health and safety needs?
Start by assessing your requirements. Identify the specific health and safety risks and gaps in training within your organisation. The regulators can guide you on the minimum standards – but these are a minimum so take your own circumstances into account. Do this by asking employees and line managers for feedback. Also analyse incident and accident reports and conduct risk assessments. You will then be able to create a business-specific list of health and safety requirements – the right provider should tailor the training to suit you.
Find a specialised health and safety training provider
Search for specialist health and safety training providers that create training which is truly tailored to your individual needs. Ask yourself this question when discussing with the provider: Do they have an understanding of your industry’s specific hazards and regulations? Ask prospective providers whether they will listen to your needs and address the unique culture and challenges of your workplace. You need a provider that will create truly tailored training courses for you and not use generic courses that create no lasting impact.
Think about expertise, accreditations and delivery methods
Prioritise companies that offer training accredited by NEBOSH, because the content will be quality-assured and relevant to your market sector. A NEBOSH Gold Partner has achieved the highest level of recognition with the NEBOSH Learning Partner Programme. Are the tutors experienced, are they qualified to the appropriate level for what they are teaching, e.g. Diploma. Do they have diverse and global experience.
Check that your proposed health and safety training provider employs tutors with professional body status, from IOSH, RSPH, or IIRSM.
Ask yourself which methods of learning will suit your employees and company culture? Online, virtual, on-site, classroom-based and blended learning are all options. Will your proposed health and safety training provider create a truly tailored, blended learning programme for your organisation using multiple methods of learning?
Look at case studies and testimonials
Check the providers website for testimonials and seek out positive reviews that demonstrate the health and safety provider’s track record in delivering the right training solutions. Look for words in the case studies that align with your company culture and for evidence that they understand your industry.
Following these steps will help you to find a health and safety training provider who can deliver truly tailored and bespoke training programmes and work with you to establish a positive health and safety culture in your workplace.
