Health and safety checks are carried out before learners begin their apprenticeship, as new learners are at greater risk of injury than experienced workers.
It is a legal requirement that a risk assessment is carried out before new learners start. BEST does not offer risk assessment, however our training advisers can provide advice on Health and Safety issues.
Health and safety induction training should cover your health and safety policy, site safety rules and safety and emergency procedures. You are also responsible for providing learners with the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment and Clothing (PPE&C).
