I agree that stress management training should be considered. This is of particular importance for managers who often need 'Stress Recognition and Response' training. If your organisation has completed its stress risk assessmenst this could be built into the stress risk minimisation program. Other stress related courses for all employees include 'Developing Stress Coping Skills' and 'Good Pressure, Bad Stress'. Contact me if you want details.

Hi Anwar, speak to the people at ground level; the workers and managers, and ask them what tasks they do and what training they think they need.
Regards

Whilst not a great lover of them A training needs analysis may help you ID training needs. Re needle stick injuries etc etc. training. You should consider putting in appropriate procedures for dealing with these. Might also consider a generic managing safety course for all of your managers. You can buy this in or develop and deliver it yourself. If the latter email me. I work in the same field as you and have some stuff that may assist you.
Cheers.

Food and kitchen hygiene ? My mother-in-law was in a sheltered apartment for a few years. Partially blind but cooked and shopped for herself. Every visit we had to disinfect the kitchen and check the "good until" dates.
And we always phoned the warden before pulling the emergency alarm cord.
How are your response times ?

Hi Jack
I have undertaken an analysis based upon the roles of individuals and also have some needlestick policies and procedures but was wondering if you could forward some of the docs you have.
Thank you and all that have assisted me with this issue

Hi Merv
Our response times are very good, as the call centre would react as soon as an incident arose. Our site managers also live on site, which may a bad idea for them but is good for immediate response depending upon the severity of the situation.
