Assessing Display Screen Equipment – £35 now only £17.50

There are few people who as part of their daily work are not required to use display screens of one type or another. Our courses are aimed at those who use such equipment for significant periods of time (more than 1 hour per day) in the workplace as well as those responsible for the upkeep and assessment of the DSE itself.

While computer monitors might be the most typical example of DSE they are not the only one. We are also talking about laptops, tablets, televisions, smartphones, CNC control pads, portable diagnostic screens or equipment containing cathode ray tubes, or CRTs. All of these pieces of equipment can be operated in ways that reduce the risks associated with misuse. The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations make it clear that both employers and employees have certain responsibilities covering DSE safety.

Our online safety training courses listed below will fulfil all training obligations and provide invaluable awareness of how best to set up and operate DSE, covering ergonomic solutions and reducing the risk of chronic work-related injuries.

This is where we come in, providing candidates with the skills required to assess injuries and illnesses and their severity before acting accordingly, with this online safety training course.

Level 1 Food Safety for Manufacturing, Catering or Retail – £12 now only £7.50

Level 2 Food Safety for Manufacturing, Catering or Retail – £25 now only £12.50

When we eat prepared food, we take it for granted that it has been handled correctly and adequate safety protocol has been followed. But food handlers and employers, whose legal duty it is to manage their food safety procedures must undergo the correct training as set out in EU and UK law.

Under the banner of these laws, food handlers are told they must ensure food that is prepared, cooked, served or sold is all safe for human consumption. The failure to follow food safety standard procedures can result in contamination and in the worst case scenario even fatalities.

How do we step in? Well, training your employees correctly by registering for our online courses will ensure that they are aware of the risks that poor food safety can pose, as well as teaching how to prevent and control food safety risks as and when they may arise.

LEGIONELLA TRAINING – £65 now only £32.50

Businesses throughout the UK are required by Health and Safety legislation to manage the problem of Legionella. The HSE’s code of practice (L8, 2013) makes it clear that all businesses and building owners must adhere to the regulations.

Boss Training’s interactive video-based Legionella online safety training course is designed for employers and staff alike, helping them to understand the inherent dangers of Legionella. Our course provides the knowledge and skills to be able to not only assess the risks of Legionella in the workplace but to also manage a suitable and sufficient risk control schedule.

MANUAL HANDLING TRAINING – £35 now only £17.50

One of Boss Training’s most popular courses is now available online.

The failure to ensure correct manual handling practice is one of the commonest causes of injuries in the workplace. It is also one of the prime reasons that back injuries are inundating the NHS and resulting in loss of staff to innumerable sick days. The Manual Handling Operations Regulations have been introduced to try to stem the tide. These guidelines set out requirements for employers and employees alike. The crux of the regulations is that employees need to be trained in manual handling best practice, including how to use any equipment provided for handling loads

SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN – £35 now only £17.50

SAFEGUARDING ADULTS – £35 now only £17.50

The idea of these courses is to provide awareness for employers and employees alike of just how fundamentally important our basic are. It is in everyone’s common interest that we are all healthy, happy and respected in the workplace regardless of our race, age, gender or sexuality. When these basic rights are in some way violated it is vital that there are procedures in place to ensure that such situations are a) resolved in the appropriate manner and b) do not happen again.

WORKING AT HEIGHT TRAINING – £35 now only £17.50

Anyone who is working in conditions that mean it is essential to be working on structures, including platforms or machinery above ground where any fall could result in personal injury is considered to be ‘working at height.’ The risk of working at height is not just the fact that you may fall, but that equipment being used could fall and pose a threat to those beneath.

Boss Training will ensure that health and safety legislation which covers Working at Height Regulations, 2005 is adhered to. The legal obligation falls on employers and employees to assess, control and minimise risks and hazards that may result from working at height. Our training course covers the dangers of working at height, the regulations, the hierarchy of controls, assessing risk and much more, resulting in a comprehensive understanding of best practice.

WORKING IN CONFINED SPACES – £35 now only £17.50

In this course you will learn the legislation that is associated with working in confined spaces. It also covers what the potential hazards are, what constitutes a confined space, the safe operating procedures, emergency procedures and rescue.

It is important to note: This course is only an awareness course and is designed for people who need to be aware of the hazards and risks posed with working in confined spaces but are not actually required to enter a confined space.

WORKING SAFELY TRAINING – £65 now only £32.50

It is in the best interest of all concerned, from employers to employees that everyone is working safely. Most of the legal requirements are on behalf of the employer but Health and Safety law (which we are concerned with here) actually places some of the onus on the employee. Working safely is important not only legally, but morally and financially. Being responsible for nasty injuries is not something anyone wants and it can leave a firm out of pocket.

It is the expectation of all of us that we can go home at the end of a hard day at work without having been the victim of injury. The problem is that many workers are being injured as a result of poor practice and knowledge of safe systems of work.

While this appears a rather broad field, we do in fact provide a focused and dedicated course to ensure that we all work safely and effectively and are able to recognize a plethora of commonplace hazards and risks. It will help improve safety performance while encouraging environmental best practice. This training is forming a major part of a change in the attitude towards risks in the workplace.
