Invest in Duty of Care Courses for Your Business in 2016
Duty of Care training covers seven vital components to help you make the most of 2016.
Duty of Care training incorporates a wide range of courses that are essential to many companies fulfilling their legal duty of care requirements. We are going to run through the key training areas, identifying some of the risks that duty of care training can prevent.
Health & Safety Training
Our health & safety course gives everyone who passes it comprehensive knowledge of health and safety in the workplace. Over one million people are injured in accidents at work each year, making health and safety training a very serious matter. Not only will it prevent these accidents, but it also prevents people having to take leave because of injury or illnesses that are exacerbated by work.
First Aid Training
Similar things can be said about the benefits of undergoing our first aid training. A combination of these two courses should help prevent all major workplace accidents becoming life threatening. Something all good employers should be wary of.
Basic Food Hygiene Training
If you are handling food at all in your place of work, then having food hygiene and safety training is vital for you in upholding your duty of care. Not only does this help prevent the dangers caused by cross contamination and raw meats, but also from handling high-risk products like nuts and eggs.
Personal Safety Training
Personal safety training is essential to those whose work takes them into other people’s homes, or if you work at night/when it’s dark. It bestows upon the trainee the capabilities to properly assess the dangers around them and provides practical advice on diffusing potentially harmful situations.
Data Protection Training
An Introduction to Data Protection is a training course which helps all beginners understand the sometimes complicated fundamentals of the Data Protection Act 1998. Failure to maintain a high standard of data protection can have horrendous consequences which have the potential to inflict massive trauma and ruin lives. Now more than ever, data protection should be at the forefront of everyone’s minds when considering your duty of care.
Protection Training
Vulnerable adult protection training and child protection training are the cornerstones of EduCare’s Duty of Care courses. These training courses cover all the basics, as well as advanced training for anyone who works with or cares for vulnerable adults and/or children. Training in these subjects is paramount to maintaining the fantastic services this country provides. Be it in child care or nursing homes, with such strain being put on these industries, investing in their future is as important as ever!
So don’t hesitate to make 2016 the year your business benefits from any one of our range of online training courses.
