Every year we have been putting EHS committee reps and team leaders on the IOSH managing safely course. We have also put many employees through the IOSH working safety course. Now most relevant employees have been on one of the above courses im looking for an alternative one day safety course for a general employee. (office/ mail room/ admin employees). It doesn't have to be an IOSH course. Open to any topic within safety, but ideally something useful for a general employee. Cant seem to find much online apart from manual handling and DSE courses. Anyone know aware of anything that might be useful? maybe something that gives the employee a better general understanding of safety.

ok thanks...I will check it out.

If you need the 'Rubber Stamp' of an accredited course, why not write your own and get IOSH to accredit it? I have our two separate induction courses accredited now and its reasonably straight forward. The Senior Management here were quite keen to show a 3rd party accreditation, but we needed to have something bespoke and the off the shelf ones just didn't fit. Might be worth looking into

Agree with ray on this one. What you need is to make sure that your employees understand YOUR H&S policies and procedures and that they know what they should be doping if it goes pear shaped, such as what your First Aid, evacuation and incident reporting procedures are. Furthermore I am not certain that a one off course will be enough, what most people require is a steady drip-drip of information to keep them aware. A colleague once did an induction for some staff who were new to the site. 30 minutes after the course one of them was injured when a shelf collapsed. Nobody in the group could remember how to call a first aider or how to report the incident to the SHE team. Steady stream of information not one big info dump.

I also prefer a little-by-little approach. Regardless of the skill and charisma of the trainer a full-day on H&S for admin staff could easily be torture.

I also agree!
