Basic Workplace Training costs are a burden for many companies…

An interesting 2 days spent researching the costs of; online, in-house and training centre Health & Safety courses, provided us with some astonishing results:

We found basic courses ranging from £25 for a 2-hour online session to £895 for a 2-day training centre course.

We also investigated the average number of training courses advised for a small business not using heavy machinery, was 18, yes 18 individual basic training courses, here’s just a few of them:

• Slips and Trips
• Manual handling
• Correct PPE
• Risk Assessments
• Managing Safety
• Use of Pallet Trucks
• Ergonomics
• Human factors
• injury prevention

The Result

So the result is, in a 3-year period, businesses can easily spend £24,840 on the very basic, yes very basic required training.

Not included in this figure are some of the accompanying costs businesses also suffer:

• Administration of Training Records
