IOSH Working Safely from PJH Safety Training

Everyone should know how and why they should "work safely" and PJH Safety Training believe this is something everyone should be aware of. That's why they host the IOSH Working Safely course. This is a 1 day course which introduces a completely new approach to health and safety training and offers all the basics in a high impact interactive package.

This course is for everyone, no matter what level you are at and whatever sector you work in. It gives you a grounding in the essentials of health and safety. This course isn't to turn you into a safety expert. Instead it focuses on why health and safety is important, and how individuals can make a real difference to the wellbeing of themselves and others through changing their behaviour.

The day is split into 5 parts covering:

• Introducing Work Safety
• It’s not unusual for delegates coming on an introductory course to think that accidents only happen to ‘other people’. This module stresses the realities of the human suffering behind the statistics and emphasises the importance of personal responsibility.
• Defining Hazard and Risk
• This module puts ‘hazard’ and ‘risk’ into everyday language, and uses familiar examples to show what can happen. Importantly, it makes it clear that even something that is very simple or repeated over and over again can go wrong, with serious consequences. Focusing on the six broad hazard groups, delegates are asked to think about the hazards and risks they come across in their own work. ‘Risk assessment’ is demystified – delegates learn that we all carry out informal assessments day in, day out.
• Identifying Common Hazards
• All the main issues are covered in this module – entrances and exits, work traffic, fire, chemicals, electricity, physical and verbal abuse, bullying, stress, noise and the working environment, slips, trips and falls, and manual handling. Each area is backed by crystal clear examples and recognisable scenarios, and useful summaries reinforce the key learning points.
• Improving Safety Performance
• This module deals with systems and processes, making sure that any jargon is explained in easily understood terms. The session bridges the gap between management and workforce, encouraging delegates to play a part in processes that are commonly seen as just down to their manager or supervisor. Other areas – including contract work, inspections, safe systems and permits, protective equipment, signage, emergency procedures, reporting and health checks – are all focused on from the delegate’s point of view.
• Protecting Our Environment
• A short but effective introduction to waste and pollution leads into a look at how organisations and individual team members can get involved in reducing environmental impacts. Memorable and thought-provoking facts and figures help drive the points home.

Everyone who attends this course and passes will receive either IOSH Working Safely certificate or an IOSH passport card, showing they have attended and passed this course.

This course can be hosted either at your workplace or at PJH Safety Training's training venues. Whichever is best for your employees.

Stay Safe over the Festive Period | Pass Point

An article from the NHS stated that over 80,000 Brits per year are injured through  things such as cuts, falls and burns during the festive period. It's important that when accidents happen, you are aware of both what to do and have the supplies to deal with any situation.

During the Christmas period, it is likely that your home will be filled by your loved ones, friends, family members and children. With all the excitement and stress (and perhaps a touch of alcohol) it is more likely at this time more than ever for an accident to happen.

A member of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RSPoA) stated that their message is to make your home as safe as is necessary over the festive period. "With a little more care and planning, most accidents can be avoided." Pass Point couldn't agree more. Sheila Merrill, the home safety manager for RSPoA says "We want to help people prevent their festivities being cut short by a trip to A&E," and we're here to help!

No one wants to put a dampener on the festivities by covering your home with bubble wrap, but it's important to have at least one family member who is aware with how to deal with accidents which are much more likely to occur during this time. Pass point offer courses such as Emergency First Aid, Paediatric First Aid and basic health and safety, so you are able to protect your whole family, not just over Christmas, but at any time of the year.

Pass Point also offer a huge range of First Aid supplies, from hot and cold treatments to bandages and dressings, even the full kit! If you are unfortunate enough to get a cut or a burn while you're making your Christmas dinner, you're in good hands, with the best quality first aid supplies and perhaps even a fully trained family member!
