Employee Health and Safety Induction

This is a must for all new and existing employees and underpins all other health and safety training. Participants will leave with a basic understanding of your health and safety systems.

Manual Handling Training

We all lift and carry on a daily basis, but is it done safely? Participants will leave with the techniques to handle items safely in the workplace, knowing the risks if they do not.

Fire Safety and Emergency Procedures

Participants will leave this session having gained an overview of the possible causes of fire, preventative fire safety measures, fire extinguisher types and evacuation principles.

Work or Office Safety Essentials

Participants will leave with a practical understanding of the key H&S issues relevant to their office or general workplace.

Employee Responsibilites

Employees have responsibilities, as well as employers, and this short module will help them understand what these are and how they, as employees, contribute to a safe working environment for themselves and their colleagues.

Small Business Owner Responsibilities

As a small business owner, the breadth of H&S to understand can seem daunting. This short course can help to demystify responsibilities and provide a clear understanding of what H&S means to a small business; what the core responsibilities are for the owners and their employees; topped off with tips on organising a safe and healthy workplace.

Accidents, Incidents & Hazards

Reporting accidents, incidents and hazards is a vital learning tool for any business as well as being a legal requirement in certain scenarios. In this short course, we’ll cover the legal requirements and definitions of different accident and incident categories, but most importantly we’ll leave the participants with a clear understanding of why it is so important to have a cult that reports hazards, near misses and accidents without blame. We will also provide tips on how to achieve this.

Knife & Cutter Safety

Fixed blade, retractable and spring-loaded cutters are used by many workplaces on a regular basis. Simple to use safely, but at the same time easy to misuse without the right knowledge. This course will cover the hazards of cutters in the workplace, good and bad practices of cutter-use in the workplace, storage and maintenance considerations and some ideas for reducing risks and choosing more suitable work practices.

Basic Hazardous Substances

Chemicals, gunks, glues, pastes, acids – chemicals in the workplace come in lots of shapes, colours and hazards but the hazards are often misunderstood. This is because the hazards are to a person’s health and these hazards can’t always be seen, tasted, smelt or seen and if the hazard doesn’t register with a person’s sense they may perceive that it isn’t a risk. This course tackles the fundamentals of understanding health hazards and helps participants to give the necessary respect to the hazards and risks associated with chemical handling.

Display Screen Equipment

Participants will leave the session with an understanding of the hazards, risks, controls and company policy on Display Screen use.

Noise Awareness

Participants will leave understanding the implications of noisy workplaces and how to use preventative measures including hearing protection.

Risk Assessment Awareness

Participants will leave with an understanding of what risk assessment is and the role they play in helping the organisation to manage risks to health and safety.

‘Work at Height’ and Ladder Safety

Participants will leave with an understanding of what ‘work at height’ is, the associated hazards and risks, and how to control them.

John Williams Heating Services Ltd

We have worked with Safewell for many years and are retained clients, so we have developed an excellent working relationship with the team. However, this really came into its own when Covid 19 appeared.

As a Plumbing and Heating business, we were able to carry on working during the lockdown but only for responding to emergencies. We were obviously very concerned about the health and safety of our employees and before we even had chance to get in touch with Safewell, they had emailed us offering their assistance. It is hard to put down on paper how that made us feel - we like everyone else felt totally at sea, which way to turn, what to do? But Safewell were there guiding, supporting and being totally brilliant. Their attention to detail is very impressive and reassuring and we feel able to ask lots of questions without feeling silly.

During the pandemic Safewell helped us to write risk assessments, safety procedures and protocols. They kept in touch regularly, issuing new guidance as soon as it appeared and checking in with us. They held group Q&A sessions over Zoom which were helpful, and knowing other businesses were facing the same challenges and having the opportunity to discuss issues was invaluable. Their help during the preparation for a full return to work was brilliant, they enabled us to be fully prepared and feel in control, and when we had our first case of Covid within the team, because we had planned our response it felt ok.

I think our team felt very reassured by our robust approach and that our office was Covid secure.
We are extremely grateful to all the team at Safewell
