There are lots of ways that you can increase aware- ness. Workplace Inspections The first step in improving health and safety awareness is to undertake an inspection or risk assessment to identify the hazards and explore who may be harmed and how. Employ- ees should be involved every step of the way to ensure that you consider all risks but also so that employees know what is expected of them. Notify staff where the first aid kit is together with an ac- cident book and ensure that everyone knows the emer- gency procedures in the event of a fire or evacuation. Even small steps such as these will contribute to a better and saf- er work environment and will ultimately reduce absence due to workplace injury. Training One of the most important aspects of increasing aware- ness is the delivery of train- ing. Health and safety train- ing should be delivered in every workplace, whether em- ployees work on a production line or in an office because there are different risks asso- ciated with these jobs. One of the most convenient methods of training is to deliver health and safety e-learning pack- ages that employees can study wherever and whenever they choose during work hours. With e-learning, training can be specifically tailored towards the risks that present themselves in certain occu- pations and you can actively engage employees through scenarios, interactivity and quizzes to test their knowl- edge. It is always beneficial to ask employees for feedback at the end of their training ses- sion, so you can constantly refine and improve the stand- ard of training delivered to employees. With e-learning employees are often more en- gaged than classroom learn- ing and this method of study has also been shown to boost knowledge retention. E-learning can also include training such as carrying out risk assessments and walking employees through the pro- cess step by step so that they can actually complete a risk assessment as part of their learning. Effective Communication There are many factors that influence how you engage with your workforce, but it is so important to take the time to do so. Find a way to regu- larly consult your employ- ees and encourage them to share their views on working practices and how they could enhance health and safety. Employers should be willing to listen to employees and take on board suggestions, even when things don't work out. Ultimately it is employ- ees who know their working practices inside and out and these are the best people to understand and who can rec- ognise the risks. Records Management Good record keeping is im- portant for health and safe- ty. Through your dedicated training programmes, you can emphasise the impor- tance to employees of keep- ing up to date and accurate records. Inspections should be carried out and docu- mented on a regular basis so too should training needs and incidents if they arise. Regularly reviewing health and safety records will al- low you to identify any pat- terns or problematic areas so you can make changes where needed to improve safety standards. Raising health and safety awareness can be achieved in many ways, from deliver- ing high quality training ex- periences that are tailored to specific departments or employees through to hold- ing regular health and safety meetings to discuss concerns and remind employees of their obligations as they carry out their day to day activities.
