Posted By Lilian McCartney Can anyone suggest a course for our H&S admin support employee who answers my calls when I'm out? I've suggested a few, tried the NEBOSH cert but at the moment they don't wish this level of committment to study (they are shared with others as small organisation). Am looking at Managing/Working Safely etc as well but wondered if there was something specific for admin people? Central Scotland area if anyone knows of anything. Thanks in advance

Posted By Hazel Harvey Lilian, I am not aware of any specific health and safety administration courses. At IOSH all our staff, who are predominantly administrative, undertake our Working Safely course. This, as well as giving basic h&S awareness, that all employees should have, also will give an undertstanding of the terms used in health and safety which will help with taking messages in the absence of a qualified practitioner. If a person needs further knowledge either the Managing Safely (4-5 days) or the more in depth level 3 courses (NEBOSH, BSC or TUC)courses would be useful.

Posted By David Paterson I would suggest the IOSH Managing Safely course first, followed by the NEBOSH General Certificate to give a good grounding. I am not aware of anything specific for admin health and safety staff but suggest resources be allocated for these.
