Safe Working Practice for Office Staff

Demolition is a safety critical industry and we are all aware of the training employers need to provide in order to maintain a safety aware and competent workforce on site.

However, how often do we consider the legislation that is in place to protect those working within the office/administrative environment of demolition and how often do we provide necessary and adequate training in order to comply with this legislation?

Granted, the office is not the most dangerous of places, but the office does contain many hazards that if not properly addressed and managed, have the potential to cause harm and have a significant impact on effectiveness and efficiency, not to mention time and money lost through illness and injury.

C & D Training Division have developed a new course specifically designed to address these issues and to raise awareness on how to keep the office a safe and healthy work place.

1. Acknowledge The Legislation Relating To Health And Safety In The Workplace
2. Identify Hazards Within The Office Environment & Ways In Which They Can Be Reduced
3. Identify Safe Practice In The Use Of Display Screen Equipment
4. Identify Safe Manual Handling Techniques
5. Recognise The Impact Of Workplace Stress On Personal Health And Safety
6. Identify Ways To Reduce Workplace Stress
