Posted By Joanne Laing Hi, After some help to save a bit of time! I'm starting to create a risk assessment training programme for key workers at our site - to enable them to take part in risk assessments in a team member role. Does anyone have any good training material or pictures etc or recommended websites that i could put in as although i don't mind giving training it is not my "forte" shall we say and i want people to learn from it - not be bored senseless!! I'm finding that at the minute - it makes perfect H&S sense to me - but the shop floor guys might get bored after the first slide! Any constructive help would be great! Many Thanks Jo

Posted By Sally For a situation like this where they are acting as team members in a risk assessment I would simply take a few scenarios they might meet and work through the risk assessment explaining the various points along the way. You can slip information about legal requirements and anything else you want them to know in as well. I very rarely use slides on training courses - as you say often they are instant boredom

Posted By RJB The answer is obvious Run an IOSH Managing Safely or Working Safely Course the whole course is designed for this situation

Posted By Mitch Jo Would agree with RJB depending on what you are trying to achieve. Our guys travel the world dismantling, moving and commissioning large weaving and knitting machinery. It is not possible, or reasonably practicable, to survey every site separately so I had all the Management team compete the IOSH Managing Safely and all the Technical Personnel completed the 1 day Working Safely with a particular slant on RA and working at height (for accessing freight containers for loading and unloading). They all now carry out their own specific assessments upon arrival at site and prepare SSoW's as required. Mitch
