Foreword
Welcome to the 2016 National Health and Safety Training programme, our first as the newly established National Health and Safety Function Training Team. In order to provide a safe and healthy environment for employees, service users and others, staff must receive the instruction, information and training necessary to safely undertake the responsibilities/duties required of them. This is strongly emphasised in the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. Statutory health and safety training, is training that is: either explicitly required by legislation or, through a process of risk assessment and/or needs assessment, deemed by the organisation to be necessary to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the safety, health and welfare at work of employees and others. Statutory training is mandatory for the identified employees.
Statutory Health and Safety training is now coordinated nationally by the National Health and Safety Function (NHSF) Training Team, creating a harmonised and consistent approach to health and safety training and ensuring that it is delivered in a manner that is effective, efficient and accessible to all. About the NHSF Training Team: • • • • • • •
Des Pearson, National Health and Safety Manger (Training Team) Julie Keegan, National Health and Safety Advisor (Training Team) Karina McGuirk, National Health and Safety Advisor (Training Team) Fiona Dardis, National Health and Safety Advisor (Training Team) Teresa Moloney, Office Manager Ben Kelly, Training , Training Support Christina Lennon, Accounts/Training support
The National Health and Safety Function Training Team has developed a programme of statutory training which is based on legislative requirements and the needs of the HSE and supports management and staff in achieving a safe working environment and safe work practices. Training assists employees in acquiring the skills and knowledge to support them in the implementation of safe work practices and is a key component in ensuring the delivery of safe and quality services. Training should not be viewed in isolation but as a key element in an overall safety management system, which is monitored and evaluated to ensure continuous improvement.
Responsibilities
• Training Needs Assessment
It is the responsibility of the local line manager to conduct a training needs assessment for his/her staff. Risk assessment will assist in the process of identifying any training necessary to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the safety, health and welfare at work of each employee.
A training matrix has been developed to support the training needs assessment process and further assist managers in determining the health and safety training requirements of their employees (please refer to Appendix 1). Further information on the training needs can be found in NHSF FAQ 014:00, which is available on the NHSF website: http://www.hse.ie/safetyandwellbeing
Based on the findings of the needs assessment, managers must develop a schedule of training and ensure that staff attend training or refresher training where necessary. Management must also monitor and identify areas for further training or refresher training as appropriate.
In addition to the courses outlined in the brochure, the NHSF will work with services to develop specific courses to meet their needs.
• Training Records
It is the responsibility of management to ensure that there is an appropriate method in place for the recording of all training in accordance with legislative requirements. Training records must be appropriately maintained and managed and available for inspection.
• Employee Responsibilities
Responsibility around statutory Health and Safety Training does not lie solely with management. Under Section 13 of the Safety Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, employees must bring training needs to the attention of their managers and attend any training deemed necessary by the employer to ensure their safety health and Welfare at Work.
Development and Delivery of Training Programmes
The training programmes outlined in this brochure are based on the requirements of the HSE and are those deemed necessary to assist staff in carrying out their duties in a safe manner in line with legislative requirements. Should the training needs assessment identify the need for a training programme not outlined in this brochure, please do not hesitate to contact the National Health and Safety Function Training Team via the Health and Safety Helpdesk (see below), for further advice and support in accessing such training (please see page 24 for examples of additional specialist courses). Log your health & safety request at: http://www.hse.ie/safetyandwellbeing or go to: http://pndchssdweb02.healthirl.net/Health.WebAccess/ss Alternatively contact the National Health & Safety Helpdesk on 1850 420 420 between 10:30-12:00 and 14:00 – 15.30 Hrs Monday to Friday. Line managers must familiarise themselves with the course content and requirements of the training programmes detailed in this brochure and, in particular, the terms and conditions associated with the National Health & Safety Function Training Request process. See training request form (Ref: CF 019:02 and cancellation form (Ref: CF 020:02) – both available on the health and safety website above. We are currently developing additional health and safety programmes which will assist in meeting statutory obligations and enhance health and safety awareness in the HSE – Details of such courses will be communicated as soon as they become available.
