Key Components of Effective SHEQ Courses

Training and qualifying your employees with the Safety, Health, Environment and Quality (SHEQ) management system implemented in your workplace can make or break the success of your organisation. 

Join us in this blog where we outline the need for effective SHEQ courses, identify essential components that make these courses effective and how to find the right service provider for your organisation.  

The Need for Effective SHEQ Courses

Ensuring the employees’ safety, health and overall well-being in the workplace benefits both employees and their organisation through protection from injury and illness, lower injury and illness costs, the reduction of absenteeism and turnover, the increase of productivity and quality and raising employee morale. 

According to a study done by OSHA, workplaces with successful safety and health management systems reduce injury and illness costs by 20-40%. Creating and implementing Safety, Health, Environment and Quality (SHEQ) courses are integral to managing vital aspects of a workplace and integrating them into a cohesive framework that supports both organisational goals and regulatory compliance. 

Essential Components of Effective SHEQ Courses

Relying solely on the creation and implementation of SHEQ management systems isn’t enough, no matter how much you’ve invested in occupational health and safety software. Training is a major component of SHEQ management systems. 

Poorly trained staff may potentially put the organisation at risk, they may miss dangers, fail to report incidents appropriately and may even act in ways that endanger themselves, their colleagues or the public. On the other hand, well-trained employees know exactly how to use SHEQ management systems and become an asset to the organisation by making the workplace safer, and more secure and positively impacting the organisation’s digital transformation. 

To learn more about why everyone in the workplace needs SHEQ training, read our blog here.  When registering employees for training courses, look for the following essential components that showcase effective training:

• Comprehensive Content Coverage: detailed and comprehensive explanation of SHEQ principles, regulations and best practices.
• Interactive Learning Methods: use of multimedia elements such as videos, animations and interactive modules. The incorporation of quizzes, polls and interactive discussions is a plus.
• Practical Applications and Simulations: provide real-world scenarios and simulations applying SHEQ principles in the form of hands-on training sessions and workshops.
• Expert Instructors and Facilitators: having knowledgeable and experienced instructors is a must, enquire about instructors’ accreditations and experience with SHEQ training, and about the role facilitators provide in guiding and supporting learners. 
• Regular Updates and Revisions: it is vital that course content is kept up-to-date with the latest regulations and industry practices to ensure quality accreditation for your employees. Enquire about improvement and feedback techniques used throughout the course to ensure successful training of your employees.
