I am assuming from your email that you are in India?

I have used the above training organisation (from afar) but have had no adverse feedback. They do supervisor courses in India. If people want to progress then perhaps the international certificate may be an option. Hope this helps.

Looking at the type of person you are being expected to train I would even step back from the Cert and look at IOSH Working Safely. It is a basic introduction to safety and then you can assess how much these people really need to know - is it ont he job level, or do they need a full 2 week examined course with all the costs associated with such a course

Golam, welcome. It might be helpful for you to know that many of the regular contributors to this forum are working in the UK or Europe and their replies will refer to the arrangements in this part of the world. They may transfer to your country or workplace and they may not, you will have to decide.
For example the following link takes you to some generic guidance and planning of H&S training. http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg345.pdf
There is another section which covers young people at work here. http://www.hse.gov.uk/youngpeople/index.htm
These come from the freely available website of the UK Health and Safety Executive, the government agency for H&S. You can check it out to see the nature of such guidance available from that site but remember that it is based on European and UK laws. Maybe there is a similar agency in your country that can give some help to you?
Training others requires an ability that is greater than just knowing the subject. If you have never done any training before then I recommend you seek out some form of "train the trainer" support.
Then I take a very simple approach to newcomers/youngsters training.
What do they need to know, to keep themselves and others safe, before you allow them onto the factory floor/site/office etc.
Then what do they need to know to work safely in the workplace, how will they learn that and from whom.
What level of extra supervision/training will they need and when will you know that the supervision can be relaxed.
If you follow that through and then decide which bits you are doing and which bits others need to do for you then you will have your plan.
If you feel unable to identify the detailed answers to those questions and/or there is no one who can help you such as line managers for the area where these newcomers will work, then you may well need some additional training on H&S.
However one might expect that as an industrial safety supervisor you already have some training and experience in such matters. Your question is more about any special needs for young inexperienced employees?
