REALSENSE E-Learning - Office Safety Training Course software

Overview
Are your organisation's offices compliant with current UK legislation? Do your employees know their responsibilities in the workplace? Can common workplace hazards be spotted by your employees and would they know how to deal with them?
 
If you answered 'no' to any of the above then your organisation may be in breach of Health and Safety Regulations and could be prosecuted or fined or be exposed to significant legal claims. The provision of training is not a matter of choice or optional, it is an absolute legal requirement for your organisation.

Aims of the course
'OFFICE SAFETY' aims to help your organisation become legally compliant with the latest UK Health and Safety at Work Regulations. It will give your employees a substantial awareness of health and safety in the office, enabling them to carry out safe procedures at all times.
Who is it for?

The course is for employees at all levels who work in an office environment. It has been developed by qualified and experienced health, safety and environment professionals and e-learning developers with many years experience in the delivery of learning solutions. The result is a high quality training solution that provides the learner with the tools necessary to meet their health, safety and environment obligations and the organisation a level of compliance through an engaging and effective learning medium.

How is it delivered?
'OFFICE SAFETY' can be delivered online, over a network, standalone or via CD-Rom to each learner at their desktop, laptop or other device.

The course conforms to SCORM E-Learning industry standards which means it can be delivered via SCORM compatible learning management systems. Alternatively, if your organisation is looking for a simple and easy to use management system for administrating, distributing and managing e-learning course(s) then we can also deliver the course via REALSENSE's own management system called ActiVbase.

The learning can be completed at the learner's own pace and at a time convenient to them. A simple 'book marking' method is used to record progress providing the learner with an easy way of resuming the course at a later stage. This method of training delivery means typical costs of training can be reduced significantly whilst still achieving the desired awareness and compliance objectives associated with the organisation's legal responsibilities.

Compliance record keeping
An invaluable feature of our E-Learning is record keeping. Our courses can provide a compliance audit trail by recording the progress and completion of courses and making them available for you to view and manage electronically.
