Short eLearning Courses

Employees are allocated unique login credentials to a learning management system that hosts the health and safety eLearning content. This portal structures the interactive content, facilitating the delegate to complete the learning in a coordinated way.

eLearning provides a powerful form of learning that suits many employees learning styles. It is accepted standalone or as a blended learning framework for many health and safety compliance training courses. Fire safety eLearning courses are among the most popular eLearning offerings due to employers’ ability to roll them out across a spanning workplace, with large numbers of employees, at the click of a button. Employers can use courses like this or others such as manual handling eLearning to contribute to meeting their health and safety legislative requirements.

There is nothing in health and safety legislation that states a requirement or a preference for a specific training delivery method. However, some clients, employers, contractors, or associations may outline a need for a particular training scheme and delivery method.

Workplace health and safety training is a legal requirement. eLearning courses are a valuable tool for employers wishing to meet their legislative responsibility to ensure those they employ are adequately informed, instructed and trained. From operative to senior executive and director level, every employee can benefit from undertaking health and safety compliance eLearning training courses. These courses can help inform employees of their responsibilities and new procedures or raise awareness of the hazards present in the workplace.

The type of health and safety eLearning course most appropriate for you depends on your responsibilities and the hazards and level of risk you are exposed to at work.

When considering responsibilities, first aiders within an organisation would benefit from undertaking a first aid eLearning course as part of their initial, requalification or update training. Additionally, DSE users or assessors can obtain crucial information on how to execute a DSE risk assessment by completing the DSE assessor eLearning course. Finally, suppose your employer requires you to assume the responsibility of the fire warden. In that case, the fire warden eLearning course will provide you with clarity on the role and expectations placed on you in the event of a workplace evacuation.

When considering hazards and risks, short courses such as manual handling, fire safety, asbestos legionella or COSHH eLearning courses can be valuable training to raise awareness. Delegates can then gain an insight into how employers control the health and safety risks presented by hazards.
