If you are ordering multiple courses, and someone in your organisation would like a master account where all learner’s certificates can be accessed, please let us know by emailing admin@learnq.co.uk after you have completed your purchase.
There is no expiry date for this certificate, however you may want to refresh the course periodically. The timescale for a refresh depends on the type of course that is being taken and the nature of your business. Ideally, the refresh regularity should be based on a thorough risk assessment of your business and tailored to the unique needs of your organisation and customers (if you are unsure how to complete a risk assessment, you can learn more by completing our Risk Assessment Awareness course).
If you are looking for a general rule for refresh training, every 12-18 months is good practice for the courses that Learn Q offer (we will also email you a reminder when you approach the recommended refresh date).

The best way to reduce the risk of injury to employees within a workplace is to minimise the amount of manual handling that they do. However, if manual handling is still required then changes to deadlines and work routines should be implemented. This means that there is less chance that the person lifting will rush the process and there should not be a need for an excessive work rate.
Another way to reduce risk is to improve the working environment. There should be a focus on maximum space, with better flooring and extra lighting too.
Of course, the best way to reduce the risk of manual handling is to provide correct training for anyone who is likely to need to lift anything. Therefore they are given the tools and knowledge to do it safely themselves.
When it comes to manual handling there are a variety of correct techniques that you should use in order to minimise your risk of injury. You want to avoid twisting your back or leaning sideways, particularly if you have your back bent.
You should keep your shoulders level and you should always face the same direction as your hips. In order to turn you should always move your feet rather than twisting and lifting at the same time.
Your head should always be up.
There are a variety of injuries that can occur due to improper manual handling. These can vary depending on what is being lifted and how heavy it is.
The most common injuries that can occur from manual handling include sprains, strains, back injuries, soft tissue injuries to arms, shoulders, legs, neck and wrists. Other possible injuries can be hernias and chronic pain.
The definition of manual handling is when you are transporting or supporting a load either by hand or another bodily force. This load could be an object, it could be an animal or it could even be another person.
You may be lifting the load, putting it down, pushing or pulling it or carrying it to another location.
In order to protect those who are responsible for moving loads in a workplace from injury, the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 was created. The Regulations required employers to:
It may seem difficult to promote fire safety in your workplace, but the truth is that you may just be approaching it in the wrong way. The best way to try and promote it is to ensure that your staff appreciate that fires do happen and rather than thinking that it won’t happen to them, remember that the risk is always there.
Many businesses decide that the best way to be safe in the case of a fire, is to have a fire safety checklist. These checklists help the fire standards and procedures to be adhered to, whether there is a risk of a fire or not. They assist you, should an emergency happen and give all staff members something to check over should they need to ascertain their understanding is right.
There are lots of things that you can do to keep employees safe in the workplace should a fire occur.
You should encourage employees to keep the workplace clean and tidy and not to leave flammable materials around. Next, you need to think about the fire safety equipment that you have and whether or not it is working effectively.
In order to make sure that the safety rules are followed and that they are working, a regular risk assessment should be carried out. This needs to eb through and cover all the possible outcomes and occurrences that might be faced.
You also need to think about the equipment that you have in the workplace and whether that could pose a fire risk if it is not turned off or used properly.
Finally, every single person in your workplace should have the right level of fire safety training. This may be just the basics as overall training, as well as have designated key staff members who are recognised as being fire marshals.
Fire safety is what could make the difference between huge amounts of damage to a property and no damage at all. Fire safety can also make a difference when it comes to the lives of those working for you.
That’s enough for all of us to see why fire safety is key.
The Fire Safety Order applies to non domestic properties, premises and businesses. These include venues that are open to the public. Fire Safety Orders will apply to theatres, gyms and bars. It also applies to hotels, B&Bs and guesthouses too. It also applies to business premises such as factories, warehouse and storage facilities too.
