    /E-Learning PR News/ - March 12, 2008 - A New Managing Safety Course Available Now on ALISON

ALISON, in partnership with Praxis42, a leading health and safety training company, has launched a new e-learning Managing Safety course for managers in businesses of all sizes. This course is available on ALISON at http://alison.com/courses/Safety. The course covers all of the main elements of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

The Managing Safety course covers the UK Health and Safety Executive's guidance note 'Successful Health and Safety Management' (HSG65), with the aim to improve the understanding of management of health and safety in the workplace. The course provides managers with all of the essential information they need to manage health and safety in their area of responsibility and control.

Managers are frequently criticised for failing to take their policy duties and legal responsibilities seriously, but often this is because they simply don't have the knowledge and understanding of what is required of them. Managing Safety from ALISON and Praxis42 is a comprehensive training course that covers everything managers need to know to understand their responsibilities for health, safety and environmental issues in their workplace and how to apply them.

Education and training are crucial to any organization's health and safety management systems, and are also essential in order to comply with increasingly rigorous legal responsibilities. According to Chris Griffin of Praxis42, "any workplace accidents and injuries as well as ill health in the workplace could be significantly reduced or avoided by following this simple and cost effective training programme."

The course has been developed by managers (who are health and safety professionals), for managers, resulting in a quality training experience that is delivered online. It will help managers to improve the safety performance of their organization, by engaging them in a learning experience that explores the key components in developing and managing a successful health and safety management system.

Elements covered include the principles of risk assessment, improving accident and reporting investigations, monitoring techniques and the main elements of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

ALISON is the world's leading free online learning resource for basic and essential workplace skills. ALISON provides high-quality, engaging, interactive multimedia courseware for certification and standards-based learning. All courses on ALISON are accessible for free to individual learners.
