Health and Safety training courses

Schools must ensure that all employees receive appropriate health and safety training to enable them to carry out their duties safely, competently, and in compliance with legal requirements. Training will be provided according to an individual's role, responsibilities, and the risks associated with their work activities. Mandatory induction, refresher, and task-specific training is required to maintain competence, promote a positive safety culture, and support the effective management of health and safety risks. Training needs should be identified through risk assessments, changes in work activities, and regular review.

Training Matrix

The training matrix is an Excel spreadsheet that provides guidance on the health and safety training courses considered essential for different roles and responsibilities within the school.

Training requirements should be reviewed and adapted to reflect the school’s delegated responsibilities, work activities, and the products, equipment or processes in use. The matrix may also support personal development reviews by helping managers identify relevant training for employee development, role competence and recognised levels of competence.

Training provided can be either in person (Face to Face) or eLearning (Leap into Learning). The type of training provided may depend on the level of associated risk and is often blended in subsequent years.
