Health and Safety Course Prices: How To Get The Most Value

23rd Jul 2018 by Alastair Farish

Health and safety course prices can vary, but understanding the value of the course will help you decide on which company to train your staff. We all know health and safety should never be seen as a grudge purchase; firstly because invaluable safety practice reduces or mitigates risk, which assists in preventing unnecessary harm to employees. In the unfortunate and sometimes unavoidable circumstance where an incident occurs – the health and safety courses and training of staff help to minimise or prevent further damage or injury.

Secondly, a hands-on approach to health and safety communicates to all employees that their company is serious about the wellbeing and safety of all its employees.

Finally – the legal implications of not being OHS Act compliant has a risk of reputational and criminal liability for any company, which is compounded as soon as an unexpected incident occurs, or if the Department of Labour decides to visit or audit your company.

At the end of the day, a healthy and safe company is a better company, with employees that are happier and more productive. Health and safety is a must, so when investigating health and safety course prices, what should you be looking for?

Health and safety course prices: What to Look for in an OHS Supplier

One of the more important aspects to consider when looking at health and safety course prices and training programmes, is the quality of service and training experience your supplier has. OHS training is a long term investment as there are annual health and safety course and training costs, so you should be looking for a long term quality partnership.

Health and safety course prices: OHS Supplier accreditation

First aid training is a part of a large emergency care system that is important and critical to a patient or employees survival. Patients that are injured and waiting for an ambulance to arrive need proper first aiders to assist and keep the patients alive until the emergency services or paramedics arrive. You should never commision a company that does not have proper accreditation with the HWSETA and the Department of Labour, to train your staff in health and safety courses. Your time and money might be wasted and the training might not be valid or recognized as contributing towards compliance.  

Health and safety course prices: OHS Supplier experience

The instructors and managers of the company who is responsible for your occupational health and safety act and first aid training should have extensive experience. Their actual operational experience and the fact that they are registered paramedics or professional firefighters will dictate the value and quality of the health and safety, firefighting and first aid training.

The more experience that the training team members have, the better the training will be and the better they will be at transferring the critical skills to those attending the training. Staff should also enjoy the training and have a positive experience and inform colleagues that the training was worthwhile. An experience first aid training provider will ensure this is achieved!  

Having an OHS service provider to train and manage health and safety administration, practice and processes at your company have helped many companies achieve compliance and a safe working environment for everyone. The implications of not being compliant may be severe.
