Consultany & training services

Below is some more detail about the health & safety training and consultancy services that Ginger Safety can supply.

● GENERAL MANUAL HANDLING TRAINING

● TAILORED TASK/JOB SPECIFIC MANUAL HANDLING TRAINING

Any type of injury at work can be devastating, and more than a quarter of accidents reported to the Health & Safety Executive each year are the results of manual handling. If we haven’t suffered ourselves, most of us know someone who has. Under the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 training is very important in reducing these often avoidable accidents. Ginger Safety can design and deliver cost effective training specific to your business needs.

● TAILORED INDUCTION TRAINING PACKAGES

Induction training & refresher training are key in any safety management system. Ginger Safety can provide an audit of the training needs of your business and tailor general training and induction packages to suit.

ALL TRAINING PROGRAMMES WILL BE SMART!

SPECIFIC – makes it clear what the learner will be able to do/understand
MEASURABLE – skills/knowledge observed during training
ACHIEVABLE – pitched at an appropriate level
RELEVANT – to the needs of client & company
TIMEBOUND – completed within a given timeframe

● GENERAL RISK ASSESSMENT

● MANUAL HANDLING RISK ASSESSMENT

Identifying the hazards and assessing the risks within your business are duties which fall under many separate pieces of legislation. Risk Assessment must be suitable and sufficient and identify those at risk and the necessary measures that need to be taken to reduce the risks to the lowest possible level. Ginger Safety can observe and complete risk assessments for you, and work alongside your business while any necessary improvements are made.

Specific Risk Assessment must be carried out for manual handling risks that are identified under general risk assessment; Ginger Safety can carry these out for you also.

● DISPLAY SCREEN EQUIPMENT ASSESSMENT

Display screen equipment at work has been associated with aches and pains in the neck, shoulders and arms (Work Related Upper Limb Disorders). This type of equipment has also been blamed for eyestrain and fatigue. There is no conclusive evidence that the machines themselves cause ill health but it has been found that many common complaints associated with this type of work are caused by how the workstations are set up and the equipment used. Ginger Safety can help you to ensure that your office complies with The Health & Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations.
