Display Screen Equipment Assessor training
AWA has provided Display Screen Equipment Assessor training courses for a number of companies, locally and nationally, to enable companies to comply with the Health & Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations and conduct in-house workstation assessments looking at an employee’s work set up with their computer. In this way, they ensure that employees are able adjust their chairs, screens and associated equipment to work ergonomically, thus reducing aches and pains which could lead to more serious long term issues and absence from work.
CHAS Registration
AWA assisted a heating and ventilation engineering company to successfully apply for CHAS registration. This involved ensuring that existing health and safety documentation was updated to reflect the company’s business activities and records were available to demonstrate the application of good health and safety practices in line with the company’s policy.
Health and Safety Strategy Design
A complete Health and Safety Management strategy was designed by AWA for a local bio-tech company which pulled together and enhanced existing documents into a single, readily accessible reference system for the company to enable employees to go to a central point on the company’s intranet to find risk assessments and safe working procedures easily and quickly.
Safety Awareness Training
A local independent school required health and safety awareness training for not only teaching staff, but also those responsible for maintenance, catering, cleaning and playground staff. The aim of the training was to bring home a positive message about the benefits of sensible health and safety management. A tailored 3 hour training course developed and delivered by AWA was well received by the staff.
Driving Policy
For a local laboratory measurement equipment manufacturer, AWA developed a bespoke Driving Policy for both field sales engineers and other employees who drove regularly on company business. The policy was introduced to all staff through a short training session backed up by a practical driving assessment from local defensive driving training provider: www.13-50.co.uk.
