What are the benefits of using Elearning?

There are a number of benefits to Elearning whether you choose to use it on its own, or to enhance any existing in house training you may provide.

It saves time and is cost effective

Instead of having to arrange a training session at a set time and place you can carry out Elearning at a time and place that suits you. This helps to reduce the time taken away from the office, removes travel costs and increases workplace productivity.

Learning with 24/7 access

Many traditional training courses operate within normal 9-5 office hours. Meaning you and your staff have to leave your jobs and take time out of the office to attend. This can also mean additional hassle of travel to and from the venue. Most Elearning courses have an average completion time of an hour, and CPD approved courses allow once completed, to print out certificates of proof.

It’s discreet

Not every employee will feel comfortable learning in a large group. We all learn at different speeds and levels and may find some topics harder to understand than others. Elearning allows your staff to learn on their own and to tackle the subject at their own pace.  The interactive tasks that are set ensure a thorough understanding throughout each module.

CHAS or Not?

Are you thinking about getting your CHAS accreditation but not sure if it is the right one for you and your business. Most of the requests we get to help people with their CHAS application are from companies who have been asked to have CHAS by a client that they are working with for the first time or for a tender they are applying for.

CHAS is part of the SSIP umbrella group so is seen in the industry as a measure of a companies ability to deliver their services complying with Health & Safety. As CHAS measures the Health & Safety process within your company looking at your risk assessments and method statements that you use on current projects achieving the accreditation shows you meet the required standard.

CHAS accreditation can help you to gain more work as well as opening doors for you to work with larger clients and public bodies. There is a membership fee applicable and if you choose to get help with completing the paperwork there will also be a fee payable for that process. So the business decision needs to be made by you.

Is the initial cost worth it for the potential gain?

For more information on CHAS and how to prepare the documentation needed please see our CHAS information.

All PAL Cards to Become Smart

From 1st January 2015, all Power Access Licence (PAL) cards issued by the Powered Access Federation (IPAF) are to become machine readable. By becoming smart they aim to improve site safety as only trained operatives will be able to use mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPS) and mast climbing work platforms (MCWPs).

Things such as level of training, categories etc will be readable by the machine and means the operator can only start a machine if the data on the card is correct for the work being done.

Managers will also be able to track how long the machine has been used for and by who, therefore helping to prevent fraudulent use.

For more information on PAL cards and the IPAF training programme, visit the Internation Power Access Federtion website using the following links:
