New e-learning courses

The British Safety Council has launched a range of instant access health, safety and environmental elearning courses, allowing employers to easily provide online training from as little as £10 per course.

The courses are available on a 'payas- you-go basis' and can be purchased online using a credit card. Based on best practice, the first batch includes: Introduction to Workplace Health and Safety General Health and Safety Display Screen Equipment Fire Safety Awareness Manual Handling Health and Safety for Managers Environmental Awareness.

John Phillips, director of qualifications and standards at the British Safety Council, said: "Elearning allows employees to study around their working day at a time and place that suits them, and is a great way for employers to meet their legal obligation to provide suitable health and safety training to employees.
