E-Learning for On-Site Staff: Part 3

During these challenging times where face-to-face training is often discouraged, e-learning is a practical and enjoyable training solution for your site staff. 

Each week over the next couple of months, we will shine a spotlight on an e-learning course that your estate manager, concierge, cleaner or on-site handyman can take in their own time.

The courses, which are health and safety based, can be taken on their laptop, tablet or even smartphone. Once your member of on-site staff has absorbed the course material, they will be presented with an on-line assessment to prove that they have grasped the subject. If they don’t pass first time, they can take the course again and re-sit the assessment. You will have proof of their learning and assessment, and they will have a certificate to keep for their own records.

Key benefits of e-learning:

  • Courses can be taken when it’s convenient for the member of staff.

  • They are a highly efficient way to learn. E-learning courses are typically 45 minutes including the assessment.

  • They are very cost effective – from as little as £60 per course per member of staff.

  • Helps to discharge your obligations as the building manager.

  • Your clients’ health, safety and welfare obligations towards their employees are fulfilled.

Week 3: Manual Handling Awareness

This week, we look at the manual handling e-learning courses.

With increasing numbers of parcels and packages arriving at the front desk, it is important that concierges and estates managers are lifting, carrying and moving any items – heavy, awkward or otherwise – safely, every time.

This course helps your managing agency and your client meet the requirements of the current manual handling legislation objections, with an emphasis on reducing the risk of injury.
