Health and Safety

Did you know that over 200 people are killed each year in accidents at work and over one million people are injured? (Source UK Health and Safety Executive).

At Brookvex Academy, we provide a range of Health and Safety courses to ensure employers and the self employed comply with their legal responsibilities.

The law requires that employers must provide whatever information, instruction and training is needed to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of your employees. (See 'The Law' section below for further information).

Our Health and Safety courses are independent and accredited by IOSH, NEBOSH, CITB and CIEH and include:

• Working at Height
• Ladder Handling
• Manual Handling
• CoSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health)
• OHSAS 18001 Certification

All courses can be run at our flagship Surrey headquarters, at your premises or on-site.

Please call your Brookvex Academy training advisor on +44(0)20 8687 5560 to discuss your training requirements and the funding grants that you may be eligible for.

For course timetables, associated costs and to book please see the Calendar page or email advisor@brookvexacademy.com should you have any questions or require further information.

The Law

The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 requires you to provide whatever information, instruction, training and supervision as is necessary to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety at work of your employees.

This is expanded by the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, which identify situations where health and safety training is particularly important, eg when people start work, on exposure to new or increased risks and where existing skills may have become rusty or need updating.

You must provide training during working hours and not at the expense of your employees. Special arrangements may be needed for part timers or shift workers.
