OUR SERVICES EXPLAINED:
Health and Safety Training Video's, DVDs and Safety Training Courses
The importance of Occupational Health and Safety Training issues in Industry and the workplace cannot be underestimated. With increased attention from government departments focusing on Health and Safety Training issues whether in the Workplace or Office environments, the responsibility for Health and Safety Training in the workplace rests with the owners of a company.
Behavioural Safety Training
In recent years there has been an increase in the use of behavioural safety or behaviour modification approaches to safety. There is a wide range of Behavioural Safety programmes available from Safetycare, but they generally involve the definition of safe and unsafe behaviours, observations of behaviours, feedback and reinforcement of approved behaviours.
To view our Behavioural Safety Videos and DVD titles, please follow this link: Behavioural Safety Training course DVD's in the Safetycare Catalogue.
Manual Handling Health and Safety and Training videos and DVD's
Manual Handling is the biggest issue in HSE Health and Safety today. Safetycare has 5 DVD's on the theme of Manual Handling. One of the best DVD's available in the UK on Manual Handling is Childs Play. This program shows how incorrect Manual Handling technique is learned as we get older because, as children, we are'nt actually strong enough to perform Manual Handling tasks incorrectly! Manual Handling is recognised as a huge Health and Safety issue by HSE, IOSH and NEBOSH.
Manual handling injuries can occur wherever people are at work - on building sites, in factories, offices, warehouses, and while making deliveries. Heavy manual labour, awkward postures, manually handling materials, and previous or existing injury are all risk factors implicated in the development of Muscular Skeletal Disorders.
Prevention and control of MSD's, such as manual handling injuries, has been identified as a priority by the HSE Health and Safety Commission.
Our Manual Handling Health and Safety Training DVD titles can be found from:Manual Handling DVD's in our range.
COSSH is the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
COSHH stands for Control of Substances Hazardous to Health. COSHH is the system that aims to address the health issues of using hazardous substances in the workplace. Safetycare's COSHH DVD is widely regarded as the best video available that gives a thorough definition of COSHH and how to put it into practice. The Safetycare COSSH DVD's main purpose is to prevent ill health due to the handling of Hazardous substances. COSHH covers the enormous majority of materials, used or created in the workplaces that are potentially dangerous to well being.
Within the COSHH definitions are literally hundreds of substances known and in wide use in the workplace. COSHH defines as Hazardous Substances, everyday materials such as cleaners, adhesives, paints, solvents, pesticides, inks, lubricants and fuels. Our Catalogue contains issues pertaining to COSSH such as
- An Introduction to COSHH Substances Hazardous to Health and their Control
- How we can be harmed by Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH)
- The common problems associated with COSHH - Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
- Minimising potential exposures to (COSHH) Health Hazardous Substances

Health and Safety Training courses - HSE Workplace Training DVD's and Video's
The need for Health and Safety training with a focus on the workplace is of major importance. Even though most dangers in the workplace are obvious, still, every day employees are killed, injured and disabled in accidents occurring in shocking numbers. Considering the HSE statistics for production hours lost due to Stress, Repetitive Strain Injuries, MusculoSkeletal Disorders and Upper Limb Disorders, your company cannot afford to ignore the HSE implications of the facts.
Recent HSE statistics confirm that workplace safety and work-related stress is widespread in the UK working population and is not only confined to particular sectors or high risk jobs and industries. This is why a population-wide approach to Workplace and Office Health and Safety Training is necessary to tackle the challenges posed by HSE education.

Manual Handling Training
More than a third of all over-three-day injuries reported each year to HSE and local Health and Safety authorities are caused by manual handling which is - the transporting or supporting of loads by hand or by bodily force. Manual Handling Training presents some real challenges to Health and Safety in the United Kingdom. The best way to begin a Manual Handling Training session is by showing a training course DVD or video. Safetycare Manual Handling Training DVD's are successfully used by hundreds of companies not only in the UK, but around the world. If you want to make sure your Manual Handling Training is all it can be, get a Manual Handling Training Power Pack from us!

Fire Awareness Health and Safety Training courses on Video and DVD
The HSE strictly regulates the parameters of Fire Safety through the General Fire Safety and Fire Awareness Regulatory Reform Policy of 2005.
In regard to Fire Health and Safety Training, the HSE is mainly concerned with fire awareness precautions and prevention. These are the special fire precautions, required in any workplace in connection with the work processes that are being carried out (including the storage of articles, COSSH and substances and materials relating to that work process).
In the majority of fire health and safety cases, responsibility for enforcement of fire health and safety legislation in respect of "special premises" has transferred from HSE to the relevant local fire and rescue authorities.
Fire Awareness Health and Safety Training Course DVD and Video titles are available on our site from: Fire Awareness Health and Safety Training in our catalogue.
Confined Space
The HSE defines a confined space as a place which is substantially enclosed (though not always entirely), and where serious injury can occur from hazardous substances stored or conditions within or nearby the space.
Confined spaces have hazards unique to themselves, such as Fire awareness issues or when fumes are present. A number of people are killed or seriously injured in the UK each year in confined spaces. These confined space injuries occur across a wide range of industries, from those involving complex plant operations through to simple storage vessels in a confined space. Those killed in confined spaces include not only people working in the confined space but those who try to rescue them without proper health and safety training or equipment.
Confined space training courses are incorporated into the NEBOSH, HSE and IOSH courses. To view our Video and DVD titles, please go to: Confined space safety training courses.
Health and Safety Training DVD and Video
Why is HSE Training so important ?
Even today thousands of people are killed or injured worldwide at work. Why? Because Health and Safety Training still has a long way to go. Health and Safety Training courses are about not only education, but also motivation. A good Health and Safety Training Course program will be both informative and entertaining. Safetycare video's and DVD's are perfect as an icebreaker, or can form the basis of your Health and Safety Training Course seminar.
Health and Safety Training Video's and DVD's are constantly being updated as technologies evolve and HSE Health and Safety consciousness improves within the office and the workplace. It is essential to the Safety and well being of your staff to ensure that your Health and Safety Training practices are kept up to date.

Forklift truck Health and Safety training courses
Forklift truck Safety is a serious matter in many workplaces and warehouses. Presenting Safetycare's Health and Safety Training courses for Forklift Trucks, our DVD will reiterate to your forklift truck operators, the fundamental principles of Forklift truck Safety. The threats that Forklift trucks present are sometimes taken too lightly and people can become complacent when working with Forklift trucks. The key to Forklift truck Safety is a strict licensing policy and an appropriate and thorough training course.
ForkLift trucks are particularly dangerous in the workplace. In 5 years, 21,190 injuries involving forklift trucks were reported to the HSE. Of these 94 were fatal, 5758 were major and 15,338 resulted in people being off work for 3 or more days. According to HSE statistics, on average forklift trucks are involved in 24% of all workplace and transport accidents. Accidents involving forklift trucks are often due to poor supervision and a lack of an appropriate forklift truck training course.
The Safetycare range of Forklift truck Health and Safety training course DVD and Video titles can be found here at : The Safe Operation of Forklift trucks DVD health and safety training course catalogue.
Risk Assessment
Risk Assessment is one of the biggest issues to HSE Health and Safety officers in the UK today. Safetycare has a HSE DVD called Risk Assessment which defines what a Risk Assessment is, as well as how to perform one, and how to get most benefit out of one. Risk Assessment is a vital stage in the risk management process. In the United Kingdom today, Safetycares Risk Assessment program is one of the most used and respected videos on this topic. HSE, IOSH and NEBOSH all recognise the importance of Risk Assessment.
A risk assessment is simply a careful examination of what, in your work, could cause harm to people, so that you can weigh up whether you have taken enough precautions in your risk assessment or should you do more to prevent harm. To conduct a Risk Assessment, follow the five steps below:
- Assess the hazards and risks
- Assess who might be harmed and the risks involved in a given procedure
- Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions
- Record your findings in the risk assessment and implement them
- Review your risk assessment and update if necessary
