Health and safety training is a crucial part of maintaining a safe and productive work environment. By equipping employees with the necessary knowledge and skills training helps prevent accidents, protect a workforce, and ensure company compliance with regulations. In this article, we will explore the key benefits of health and safety training and highlight its significance for individuals and businesses.
According to a study by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), organisations that provide extensive health and safety training experience a significant reduction in workplace injuries. A study undertaken by the HSE on SMEs in 2013 found that companies with formal health and safety training programs reported a 20% decrease in accidents.
Our OMS trainers take the time to understand a delegate’s workplace and include relevant examples within training courses, using their own experiences from a range of sectors both operationally and as trainers. For private courses, the OMS L&D team will spend time mapping out and understanding your operating environment, creating a bespoke plan as to what the training Is to cover. By making the training relevant to those on our courses, people leave OMS with more than a qualification. Their understanding of good health and safety principles and practices can be embedded within an organisation and lead to a reduction in hazards, near misses and workplace injuries.
The British Safety Council conducted research on the relationship between health and safety culture and employee engagement in the UK. The study revealed that organisations with a strong health and safety culture had higher levels of employee morale and engagement. Engaged employees are more likely to contribute to a positive and safe working environment. Health and safety training demonstrates commitment to employee welfare, which helps to foster a positive work culture and increase overall job satisfaction.
The Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) conducted a study in the UK, examining the return on investment (ROI) of health and safety training. The research found that organizations investing in health and safety training had a median ROI of £4.60 for every £1 invested. These returns were attributed to reduced accident rates, improved employee productivity, and lower insurance costs.
A study conducted by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) in the UK highlighted that businesses with robust health and safety practices have a positive impact on their reputation. Maintaining a safe and healthy work environment through training contributed to the organisation’s overall image, attracting potential employees and customers. Sometimes even winning tenders due to their safety training programmes.
These studies provide evidence that health and safety training leads to a reduction in workplace injuries, improved employee morale and engagement, financial wins for a business, compliance with legal requirements, and a positive reputation in your industry and local community.
