Employee Duties
Employees are expected to cooperate with us fully with regard to attending health and safety training courses. We expect that all reasonable effort will be made to attend a course, but if this isn’t possible, that we will be notified well in advance. Should an employee fail to attend a course which is a legal requirement without good reason, we retain the right to treat it as a disciplinary matter.
Legal Obligation
Providing adequate training to our staff is a requirement of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. It is also required by other more specific legislation which relates to the use of machinery, handling activities, hazardous substances, the wearing of personal protective equipment etc. The test of adequacy is based on providing sufficient training to ensure that employees can carry out their duties without jeopardising either their health and safety, or that of their colleagues and visitors.
