Health and safety training

Employers must ensure that all employees are provided with adequate health and safety training[1] when they start work.

Ongoing training must also be provided in response to changes, such as:

  • meeting the needs of new students
  • the identification of additional risks
  • the use of new or modified equipment and/or
  • new job responsibilities
  • a change in the needs of existing students leading to a change in the way that risks arising from their needs are managed

Monitoring and review procedures can help highlight when training is required and also the relevance of the training, eg how much the training relates to the job.
