Health and Safety eLearning

Engaging, customisable content for a safer work environment

Health and safety eLearning course highlights:

Engaging content

Our courses are designed with dynamic, interactive content that makes learning both informative and enjoyable for your learners. Through the use of simulations, real-world scenarios, and interactive exercises, learners are actively involved in the learning process. This makes the material more memorable and applicable to their everyday work environments.

By incorporating varied learning methods such as drag-and-drop activities, quizzes, and branching scenarios, the courses cater to different learning styles, which enhances retention and understanding.

Highly customisable

Incorporate specific company policies, adjust the content to reflect the particular risks associated with your industry, or alter the tone to better match your corporate culture.

Our courses can be customised as much, or as little, as needed to meet your team’s learning objectives. This flexibility ensures that your training is as relevant and effective as possible.

Assessments

Our courses are embedded with reflection exercises throughout and finish with a comprehensive assessment. This helps to reinforce the learning and ensure knowledge retention.

These assessments are not just about testing recall but are designed to evaluate how well learners can apply their new knowledge to real-world situations.

The reflection exercises encourage learners to think about what they’ve learned and how it relates to their role, promoting deeper understanding and long-term retention.

Our assessments include a variety of question types, such as multiple-choice, scenario-based questions, and open-ended reflections, all of which contribute to a robust evaluation of the learner’s understanding and readiness to apply the material in practical settings.

Translations

Our courses are available in multiple languages, ensuring that language barriers do not hinder the learning experience.

SkillSet’s translation process goes beyond simple language conversion; it involves localisation to account for cultural differences, regulatory variations, and industry-specific terminology. This approach ensures that the content is not only understandable but also relevant for learners across different regions.

By providing high-quality translations, we ensure that all your employees, regardless of their location, have access to the same high standard of training, which is essential for maintaining consistent health and safety practices worldwide.

Updates

Our content is regularly updated to reflect changes in health and safety regulations and comply with the latest legal standards. We monitor changes in health and safety regulations and legal standards, including GDPR for data protection, to ensure that our courses remain compliant and relevant.

Our content development team works closely with industry experts to revise and enhance course materials as soon as new regulations come into effect. This proactive approach means that your team will always be trained with the latest information.

Who is responsible for health and safety in my business?

Ultimately, the business owner or top management holds the primary responsibility for ensuring that your workplace meets all health and safety regulations. This includes implementing safety policies, providing appropriate training, and ensuring that all employees understand and follow safety protocols. However, employees also play a crucial role in maintaining a safe work environment by adhering to the training provided, reporting hazards, and using equipment and procedures correctly.

Is health and safety training a legal requirement in the UK?

Yes, under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers have a legal duty to ensure, as far as reasonably practicable, the health, safety, and welfare of their employees and others who may be affected by their operations. This includes providing appropriate training to ensure that employees understand the risks associated with their work and know how to perform their duties safely.

Bespoke eLearning offers content that is finely tuned to an organisation’s specific industry, culture, and learning objectives.
