Getting health and safety training right can make a real difference to your people and your business.
It’s not just about ticking a box
Yes, health and safety training is a legal requirement for Irish employers. The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 makes that very clear. But compliance is really just the starting point. Good health and safety training helps your team spot risks before they become incidents, builds a culture where people genuinely look out for each other and reduces the costs that come with workplace injuries and absences.
When people understand why safety matters and not just what the rules are, they’re far more likely to put it into practice.
The eLearning advantage
Traditional classroom-based health and safety training has its place, but it’s not always practical. Coordinating schedules, booking rooms and pulling people away from their work for half a day adds up quickly. eLearning gives your team the flexibility to complete their training at a time and pace that suits them, without sacrificing quality.
It also makes it much easier to keep records up to date, which is exactly what you need when an audit comes around.
Our health and safety courses
Check out this range of health and safety eLearning courses designed for the Irish workplace. Each course is built to be engaging, practical and easy to follow. The catalogue covers essential topics including:
- Manual handling: helping your team lift, carry and move loads safely to prevent common workplace injuries.
- Fire safety: giving employees the knowledge to prevent fires and respond effectively in an emergency.
- Display screen equipment (DSE): particularly important now that so many of us spend our working day at a screen, whether in the office or at home.
- Workplace safety awareness: a solid foundation in identifying hazards, understanding risk and knowing what to do about it.
- First Aid training: equips participants with essential knowledge and skills to assist with basic health and safety duties.
All of our courses are available online and can be rolled out across your organisation through our Moodle-based learning management system.
Make health and safety easy
Your people deserve training that’s clear, relevant and respectful of their time. And you deserve the peace of mind that comes with knowing your organisation is compliant and your team is prepared.
