by | Aug 27, 2021 | News, RealSense News

Organisations all differ in their training needs and requirements, but there are some standard training courses and topics that all organisations would do well to consider for their employees.

These include some core Safety topics as well as health and wellbeing topics that are of particular relevance in today’s workplace.

Below we highlight 4 of the online training courses we provide that are relevant to most, if not all businesses and organisations.

1. Fire Safety Awareness Training

Fire safety awareness is of the utmost importance to all organisations, as appropriate training ensures all employees will know what to do in case of an emergency which can help to minimise risk and loss of life.

Our Fire Safety Awareness Training course covers everything from spotting potential fire hazards right through to what to do should a fire be discovered, as well as practical steps like how to use a fire extinguisher correctly.

As it’s a legal requirement to provide fire safety training for all employees and building occupants, our course is relevant for everybody, and it will assist you in meeting your legal fire safety training obligations.

In addition to our ready-to-go Fire Safety Awareness online training course, we also provide Fire Marshal Training / Fire Warden Training and more specialist courses including Fire Safety Awareness Training for Schools and Colleges.

2. Mental Health Awareness Training

Whilst in recent years a lot of progress has been made towards normalising and talking about mental health, there’s still some way to go. Being more aware of our own mental health as well as the mental health needs of our colleagues can make for a more supportive, happier workplace (take a look at our tips for supporting the mental health of employees).

Workplaces should strive then, to promote wellness by facilitating a healthy work/life balance, including reducing negative stressors where possible and supporting staff. According to mind.co.uk 1 in 4 UK adults will face mental health problems each year, whilst 1 in 6 face weekly problems, such as anxiety and depression.

Our Mental Health Awareness Training course is of the utmost relevance for businesses of all sizes and helps learners to understand the myriad factors that can impact mental health and provides coping strategies, tips and practical assistance, all designed to help learners improve and maintain good mental health.
