Occupational safety and health training.

Training that survives contact with the shop floor.

Our programmes are participative and activity oriented. They are learner centred and built on experiential learning, individual and group activity, short lectures and coaching. Participants practise on the equipment and the scenarios they will actually meet, not on a generic case study.

That matters most where competence is legally required. Workers handling hazardous chemicals must be trained at least once every two years. Forklifts are heavy machinery that need trained and authorised operators. A safety and health committee that has stopped meeting is a finding waiting to be written up.

First aid is delivered by a practising paramedic with United Nations service experience. That is the difference between a certificate and a team that can actually manage a casualty before an ambulance arrives.

Programme notes

Basic occupational first aid (BOFA)

First aid knowledge is the difference between life and death. The programme covers practical first aid including CPR, so participants leave with life saving and life sustaining skills. It also lowers operating cost, because a trained team handles the common injuries on site instead of sending every case out.

• Principles of occupational first aid
• Emergency response and scene assessment
• CPR and basic life support, with AED
• Bleeding, burns and fracture management
• Casualty handling and the recovery position
• Heimlich manoeuvre
• Basic rescue techniques and rescue equipment

HIRARC

HIRARC was introduced in 2008 and DOSH has since issued a revision. Our workshop covers the updated version, and the three day variant adds consultation so your team leaves with a completed register rather than a method they still have to apply.

Safe chemical handling and spillage control

Hazardous chemicals account for a significant share of critical and acute occupational health cases. The law requires workers to be given safe chemical handling training at least once every two years. The intensive version adds spillage response drills.

Safe forklift handling

Forklifts are heavy machinery that require trained and authorised operators. The two day competency course targets operator behaviour during handling, not just the mechanics of driving.

Emergency response and preparedness

An emergency response team should be established as part of emergency management. The workshop covers ERP fundamentals, evacuation, firefighting, rescue and basic occupational first aid, and the three day version includes consultation on your plan.

Empowering the safety and health committee

Aimed at committees that have gone dormant. The two days are spent reactivating the committee, rebuilding momentum and getting the meeting, inspection and follow up cycle running again.
