Water Safety Training
Are you keeping your employees safe around water?
First aid training is well embedded in health and safety legislation and many companies are very clear on what they need to do to remain compliant. However, water safety training is much less clear. None the less, the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 places a requirement on employers to take reasonable steps to protect their employees from harm. If you have staff working in or near water, training them in the RLSS National Water Safety Management programme is an excellent way to help satisfy your obligations to ensure the safety of your staff.
Training for all industries
David Sneddon is a tutor for the National Water Safety Management Programme (NWSMP) developed by the Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS), developed in response to a need for nationally recognised water safety training. Utilising many years of experience working in and around many different water environments, David has amassed a wide range of skills and knowledge in water safety. This knowledge, combined with an engaging, informative and relaxed atmosphere makes this suite of courses highly beneficial to all who attend them.
