Are you looking for quality health & safety training by highly qualified and experienced tutors? Why not seek the help of an independent health & safety training organisation that is registered with the largest examination board but also develops tailored courses to suit the client? IN-HOUSE COURSES CIEH LEVEL 2 AWARD IN HEALTH & SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE Previously the CIEH BASIC / FOUNDATION HEALTH & SAFETY CERTIFICATE Assessment at the conclusion of the course is by multi-choice or oral examination. Wherever possible we like to mark the papers and give direct feedback to the students (although official results have to wait for the papers to be marked by a computer!). The course is intended for anyone at work and can be useful in demonstrating compliance with statutory requirements. However, we have found that the combination of this course with the Risk Assessment course provides extremely valuable introductory health & safety training for supervisors and managers.
A completely new course designed to ensure the workforce are aware of risk assessments and able to contribute to organisation risk assessments. The one day session includes the 30 question multi-choice examination. It is not considered that succesful candidates will have demonstrated their ability to carry out risk assessments; for that you need Level 3!
CIEH LEVEL 3 AWARD IN HEALTH & SAFETY in the WORKPLACE FOR SUPERVISORS
An updated version of the old certificate course the four days of health & safety training concentrates upon supervisory responsibilities. It is intended for anyone in a supervisory or line management role. Statutory health & safety requirements and accident prevention techniques are important parts of the syllabus. Sessions on management organisation include risk assessment, auditing, investigating incidents and keeping records. The role of the supervisor in monitoring, motivating, training and handling conflict are also covered. Wherever possible, practical exercises are held within the actual workplace. Assessment for the certificate is by a 60 question multi-choice examination on the final day of the course. CIEH LEVEL 3 AWARD IN RISK ASSESSMENT PRINCIPLES & PRACTICE This is an intensive but enjoyable course suitable for supervisors or safety representatives. However, a considerable degree of DELEGATE commitment is required; the exam board suggest anything upto 13 hours may be needed to complete the assignment! The final assessment consists of an actual risk assessment to a prescribed format which is undertaken in the delegates own workplace during the week following the course. This forms the base of a management report to demonstrate the student's knowledge of risk assessment techniques. All students receive a personal, confidential, detailed feedback on their project.
CIEH CERTIFICATE IN STRESS AWARENESS Workplace stress is increasingly being seen as a major cause of absenteeism in the UK. This level one health & safety training course is designed to enable organisations to boost productivity and staff morale by demonstrating ways and means of reducing workplace stress. Although aimed at general workers it has proven to provide an excellent introduction to the subject for more senior staff. By the end of the course, delegates should be more aware of the importance of controlling stress in the workplace and will have developed a basic toolkit to monitor and control stress. The certificate is awarded to candidates who have successfully completed the course and the assessment at the conclusion of the training session. The assessment is in the form of a review of the students' own work practices and is completed under tutor supervision. CIEH PRINCIPLES OF MANUAL HANDLING CERTIFICATE This is a first level qualification in health & safety and is
designed to complement the CIEH Foundation Certificate in Health & Safety
although it may be used as a stand-alone course. A minimum of three hours health & safety training covers the process of manual handling in the workplace, manual handling injuries and the activities that cause them, manual handling assessment and control options as well as responsibilities imposed by the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992. The Certificate is awarded to candidates who have completed the course and the final short, objective test of 20 questions. Following the examination the tutor usually provides immediate feedback to the students. This course may be extended to a one-day in-house course to include practical manual handling risk assessments. CIEH LEVEL 2 AWARD IN THE PRINCIPLES OF COSHH Previously the CIEH PRINCIPLES OF COSHH CERTIFICATE This is a first level qualification in health & safety and is designed to complement the CIEH Foundation Certificate in Health & Safety although it may be used as a stand-alone course. A minimum of three hours training covers definitions and types of substances hazardous to health in the workplace, health effects of hazardous substances and their causes and responsibilities imposed by the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1999. The Certificate is awarded to candidates who have completed the course and the final short, objective test of 20 questions. Following the examination the tutor usually provides immediate feedback to the students. FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT The concept of the Fire Plan is developed together with system requirements for warning, evacuation and fighting fire. Fire Management Plans and Fire Prevention Checklists are included. Although the concept of Fire Marshals or Fire Wardens are covered, this course does not include practical training in the use of fire extinguishers (it may be possible to add such training, if required). An attendance certificate is awarded to persons completing the course. An assessment of competence in the form of a written examination, a multi-choice examination or a practical test can also be included. SIMPLE SAFETY AUDITING Depending upon the depth of knowledge required this may be run as a one or two day course. The aim is to teach delegates the techniques necessary to enable them to audit their own organisation’s health & safety policy. While acquainting delegates with BS8800:1996 and OHSAS 18001:1999 the course will mostly follow the recommendations of HSG65, Successful Health & Safety Management. General concepts of health & safety, including accident prevention and risk assessment, are reviewed as delegates are led to understand the value of auditing as a management tool. Practical exercises are undertaken at each stage of the process to encourage the honing of auditing skills. An attendance certificate is awarded to persons completing the course. An assessment of competence in the form of a written examination, a multi-choice examination or a practical test may also be available. BESPOKE TRAINING Examination courses can often be adapted or extended so that the health & safety training is directly relevant to the normal work activities of the trainees. However, there are many instances where specific site or subject training would be more appropriate. Domino Risk Management Ltd is approved as a health & safety training organisation by CIEH (Chartered Institute of Environmental Health) for many of their courses (and would not anticipate any great difficulty in obtaining approval for any others). All courses are, of course, run in compliance with the examination board's requirements and subject to external audits. Domino Risk Management Ltd also issues certificates in its own name for courses that have been tailored to a client's needs and requirements. Because these are not accredited to a national standard we include the course duration and the course content on the actual certificate. CONTACT Contact Ken Rock on 01275 792328 or email info@dominorisk.co.uk to discuss your health & safety training requirements. Other examination courses are available or we can supply personalised attendance or qualification certificates for bespoke courses. CASE STUDY A multi-national company identified the need to improve safety auditing at unit level but left the method to each unit. The UK Operations Manager was aware of Domino Risk Management and asked for advice. Working together we produced a two day course and trained six staff members in auditing techniques (with particular reference to HSG65 and OHSAS18001). The course was a success and the enthusiasm of the site auditors helped to improve the safety culture of the organisation. Over the next few months the auditors identified weaknesses in the site risk assessments. Domino was again contacted but this time we felt the CIEH Risk Assessment course was the best approach. However, the company wanted to ensure the course was specifically targeted for them so we extended the contact time and included live risk assessments around the actual site as well as our standard course exercises. Needless to say we based the course upon the risk assessment scheme that was already in operation. |
