Promote workplace safety with a learning management system

You are responsible for meeting your legal staff training requirements. The Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999 states that employers must provide health & safety training to employees when they are first recruited and when they are exposed to new risks.

Specific statutory training requirements and mandatory training needs will depend on your industry and the risks your employees face.

Make sure you’re meeting your legal obligations by reaching out to our 24/7 team of health & safety experts who can advise you on what training your employees need to receive and when.

Our Learning Management System gives you full control over your employees’ learning, progress, and achievements.

That means your learning manager’s role doesn’t end with assigning courses to your employees. They also get to track progress from the moment a course is assigned to when it’s completed and log the certificates your employees have received for course completion.

The specifics of what health & safety training your employees need to complete will depend on the risks they face. The Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999 requires you to provide relevant training to new employees and to seasoned employees who are exposed to new risks.

You also need to make sure your employees stay up to date with their health & safety training. That can mean refreshing their memory or making them aware of updated recommendations. Again, training frequency will depend on the industry and the risks involved, but the best practice is to retake the health & safety training every year.
