Manufacturing Health and Safety Courses

Why is Health and Safety Training Important for the Manufacturing Industry?

Health and safety training is a critical component of the manufacturing industry, ensuring the well-being of workers, high levels of productivity and the overall success of your operations.

In an environment where there is often heavy machinery, falling objects, spillages and hazardous chemicals, workers are at risk of injury or worse. HSE data shows that the manufacturing industry accounted for 11% of UK fatal workplace injuries in financial year 2022/23.

Health and safety training will equip your employees with the knowledge and skills necessary to recognise, prevent, and mitigate these risks. By doing so, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of accidents, injuries, and illnesses occuring.

Furthermore, health and safety training is essential to help you meet the requirements of UK legislation. The manufacturing industry is subject to stringent regulations designed to protect workers and any other people onsite. Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to litigation, substantial fines, and reputational damage. Training all staff ensures they are well-versed in and adhere to legal requirements thus reducing the potential for legal and financial penalties.

By promoting a culture of safety and responsibility, manufacturers not only meet their legal obligations but also maintain a safe and healthy manufacturing environment for all their workers.
