In order that personnel can work safely and efficiently it is important that
each person receives training appropriate to the job they are required to
do. Whilst appropriate qualifications are required by the Company before
employment, it is not accepted that training will cease for that employee.
It is the policy of this Company that all employees continue training
during the course of their employment by various methods ranging from
attending residential courses to .toolbox talks..
All employees will receive appropriate induction training that will
include the standard introduction programme, making them aware of their
statutory duties, the emergency procedures and an explanation of the
Company Safety Policy. An awareness of safety issues at all levels is an
important feature in the promotion of this Safety Policy. Accordingly, in
all forms of training, the safety requirements related directly or indirectly
to the task or work area will be an integral part of occupational training
and appropriate training will be given to anyone who undertakes a new
task.
All training will be mandatory and records kept of courses and
qualifications. Examples of training records can be found in
Consultation with Employees Procedures. in the Procedures Section of
this policy.
