employees awarded certificates in manual handling

December 2008 – In an effort to protect staff and to avoid injury through mishandling heavy loads, 60 employees from Reckitt Benckiser’s Hull-based healthcare office this month received qualifications from another local business, SHEilds Training & Consultancy Services Ltd.(STCS), in CIEH Principles of Manual Handling. More than a third of all over-three-day reported injuries each year are caused by manual handling, with surveys of self-reported work-related illness estimating that 1.1 million people in Great Britain suffered from musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) caused or made worse by their current or past work.

“We are delighted to be working with Reckitt Benckiser. As such an influential local business, it is reassuring to know that it takes the safety of its employees seriously. Training staff members in CIEH qualifications is a positive first step to reducing the occurrence of workplace accidents.”

Rachel Pearson, Training Coordinator at Reckitt Benckiser, said:

“The 60 employees who carried out the CIEH Principles of Manual Handling training with SHEilds have learnt a great deal from the course in terms of how to protect themselves from potential back injuries when lifting heavy items. As a leading consumer goods company, where day to day work often involves lots of lifting and carrying, health and safety training is especially important for Reckitt Benckiser employees.”

Mabrouk delivers CIEH Courses in Arabic for STCS.

On Thursday November 20th , I delivered the FIRST ever CIEH level 2 Health & Safety in the Workplace course in ARABIC, to a group of five candidates originating from a number of Arabic speaking countries. I found the course most enjoyable to deliver, partly because I was able to deliver it in Arabic (my first language/first love!), and also as a result of the enthusiasm, and hunger for acquiring health and safety knowledge, demonstrated by the participants. The feedback from the candidates was very positive; in fact they asked me to arrange for them the CIEH Level 3 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace course, at the earliest possible opportunity!

CIEH Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in the workplace

STCS are one of the first companies in the UK and globally who can offer the new CIEH Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace; Paul Bell, Managing Director of STCS Ltd has this to say about this new award :

“This CIEH training course is suitable for a whole variety of situations and the design of the course is such that that our company can deliver this qualification to large sized groups of learners and the fact that it can be successfully delivered in half a day allows employers a time saving and cost effective route to accredited training”.

It’s a legal requirement for employers to provide health and safety training to their staff. The new CIEH Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace provides a quick, concise and practical starting point from which more detailed training can follow.

This half day ground breaking award is set to change the way companies consider health and safety, this qualification acts as a punchy outline of the basics of health and safety that will protect both the candidate and their fellow workers in all areas of employment.

The first step to more in depth Health and Safety Training

CIEH Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in the workplace

The CIEH Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace is the first step to more in depth Health and Safety training; this could be job specific training or even the start of a development path for a person wishing to become more involved in the field of health and safety.

“This CIEH training course can easily be adapted to the needs of a client’s organisation and would be an obvious business choice to be used as part of an induction programme; the nature of the course is to engage the candidate by promoting self thought as a significant aspect of continuous improvement in health and safety competence”

“The response since STCS started offering this new award has been quite staggering; we are working in conjunction with the CIEH and the Business Mail on a programme of delivering this and the CIEH Level 1 Award in Food Safety as free promotion during August. A Dubai based client of ours is looking for STCS to deliver this qualification across the Middle East”.
