General Health and Safety Training Courses in Devon
Quality Safety Training are a training provider based in Devon and we provide a wide variety of general Health and Safety courses that will help you and your staff to not only stay safe whilst at work, but also be compliant with Health and Safety regulations.
OBJECTIVES:
Health and Safety is the overriding consideration required in any working environment, so it is vital that adherence to Health and Safety legislation is taken seriously. Although Health and Safety might not be something you consciously consider on a day-to-day basis, it is within human nature to not wilfully hurt ourselves or others whilst at work.
The courses we provide include the following:
- Fire Marshal / Fire Warden Course: There is a requirement for employers to ensure that if fire extinguishers are provided at a workplace, that at least one designated person is competent to use them to aid escape, should the need arise.
- Manual Handling Operations Course: Manual handling injuries are the most common cause of worker injuries. To avoid staff having to take time off work due to musculoskeletal (muscle and bone) injuries that could potentially be avoided, this course will give instruction on correct manual handling techniques.
- Risk Assessment Workshop: This one-day course, split into two workshops, will help you to understand the requirement of risk assessment under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. It will also teach you how to consider what the risks are within your working environment and how to properly record, control and regularly review the risks.
- Abrasive Wheels Course: This half day course will provide you and your staff with the information on how to identify the hazards surrounding the use of abrasive wheels and how to control the hazards. It will also teach you the relevant legislation regarding the use, storage and handling of abrasive wheels.
- On-site Face Fit Testing: It is a requirement of Health and Safety legislation that any person required to wear a close-fitting face mask for their works, is fit-tested to ensure that the mask provides the required level of protection. Although this is important in the construction industry it is also relevant for many other working environments where employees may come into contact with harmful dusts, vapours and gases.

General Health and Safety Training Courses in Devon
Health and Safety is an essential aspect of any workplace. It is a legal requirement that employers provide a safe and healthy working environment for their employees, and failure to do so can result in serious consequences. From simple measures like providing adequate lighting and ergonomic workstations to more complex measures such as implementing emergency response plans and training staff in safe working practices, every aspect of workplace safety must be taken seriously.
While it may seem like Health and Safety regulations can be a burden, they are in place to protect employees and ensure that they are not put at risk while carrying out their duties. Employers who ignore these regulations not only put their employees in danger, but they also risk incurring significant financial penalties or even legal action. By prioritising Health and Safety in the workplace, employers can create a safer, more productive environment where employees can work with peace of mind and focus on their tasks without worrying about potential hazards.
The general health and safety courses we provide include the following:
Fire Marshal / Fire Warden Course: It is crucial for employers to prioritize the safety of their employees while they’re at work. In the event of a fire emergency, it’s necessary to have designated personnel who are trained in using fire extinguishers to aid in escape. Additionally, to prevent common worker injuries such as muscle and bone injuries caused by manual handling operations, staff should be provided with proper training on correct manual handling techniques to avoid having to take time off work. This not only ensures employee safety but also helps prevent any potential loss of productivity due to work-related injuries.
Risk Assessment Workshop: Over the course of two workshops, this one-day training program will provide you with the necessary knowledge to comprehend the importance of risk assessment in accordance with the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. Additionally, you will learn how to identify potential risks present in your workplace and effectively manage document, and reassess them on a regular basis. This program aims to equip you with the necessary skills and tools to ensure a safer and healthier work environment.
Abrasive Wheels Course: Join us for a comprehensive half-day training course designed to equip you and your staff with essential knowledge on identifying the hazards associated with abrasive wheels. Learn how to effectively control these hazards and comply with relevant legislation governing the use, storage, and handling of abrasive wheels. This training will undoubtedly benefit your business by ensuring the safety of your employees and enhancing your overall productivity. Don’t miss out on this invaluable opportunity to enhance your workplace safety!
On-site Face Fit Testing: Ensuring the safety of workers is of utmost importance, especially in industries where employees may be exposed to hazardous substances such as dust, vapours and gases. To comply with Health and Safety regulations, it is mandatory for individuals who are required to wear a close-fitting face mask for their work to undergo fit-testing. This helps to ensure that the mask provides adequate protection against potential health hazards. This practice is not only limited to the construction industry but is also applicable to other working environments where employees are exposed to harmful substances.
At our training facility in Devon, we provide you with the opportunity to enhance your knowledge of health and safety in a stress-free and comfortable environment. Our team of experts are always on hand to help you with any queries you may have regarding the courses. We believe that learning should be a fun and enjoyable experience and we work hard to create an environment that provides you with the support needed to learn at your own pace.
