CWU Health & Safety Training Courses Provided by the Education & Training Dept at the CWU E&T Centre Alvescot Lodge 2016/17:

This is to remind Regional Health and Safety Forums and Health and Safety Reps across the Union about the updated, excellent Training Programme for August 2016 – July 2017, provided in-house by the CWU Education and Training Dept who have taken on board Conference Policies in consultation with the Health, Safety & Environment Department.
 
Following on from the Conference decision in Motions 89(2013) and 33(2015) a Health and Safety Refresher Training Course for experienced and trained Health and Safety Reps was successfully introduced and delivered in 2015/16 and that course is being repeated again in the current 2016/17 programme.
 
In respect of Mental Health and part of Motion 37(2015) was to raise awareness, an important factor is raising awareness amongst Health and Safety Reps and Union Reps in general. A Mental Health Awareness Course has been added to the 2016/17 programme and will hopefully become a permanent addition. The course has previously been run in past programmes, but has never been more important.
 
There has been a restructuring of the previous Health and Safety Reps Stage 1, 2 and 3 Courses and the Occupational Health Course. These have been combined and re-badged as the Introduction to Health and Safety Part 1 and Part 2 and Intermediate Health and Safety Part 1 and Part 2. The aim is for the Health and Safety basic and intermediate programme to be completed in one academic year of the programme.
 
In relation to the TUC Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety Course which is the advanced training course which follows Basic and Intermediate Training, the Education and Training Dept intend to run one of the courses before the end of the 2016/17 programme year.
