Mike Wood case study & Background:

 

Mike Wood age 30 from Hull, was looking for a new opportunity away from retail, and always wanted to be an instructor in the forklift industry . The opportunity came when Mike heard of National Safety Training Services in Hull, from a friend who had recently undertaken a level 2 NVQ training course, in Warehousing. The course amongst others was provided through the expert training providers at National Safety Training Services in Hull.

 

In July 2013, Mike enquired by calling in person at National Safety Training Services, office – where he met Ashley and Rhonda Shaw (Directors and Owners of NSTS). Mike quickly enrolled onto the employability skills program, consisting of an NVQ in Warehouse  & Storage Skills and a BTEC L2 in Plant operations which commenced in September 2013. Mike enjoyed his experience so much that he quickly booked himself on the RTITB Accredited Lift Truck Instructor 10 day course January 6th 2014 by. On 16th  January 2014 I completed the course and became a fully accredited; RTITB – Lift Truck Operator Instructor.

Ashley  has  continued  to encourage me to take further courses with them”.

A story published on the government website this week speaks about the Hundreds of employers who are now behind traineeships.

The government is urging even more to get involved in helping to unlock the potential of motivated young people who are not yet work ready.

Traineeships: help 16-23 year olds gain the vital work experience needed in order to get an apprenticeship or other jobs giving unemployed young people work preparation, training and work experience as well as English and maths qualifications.

Skills and Enterprise Minister, Matthew Hancock MP said: “We introduced traineeships to unlock the great potential of young people. Employers involved in the programme are now helping their trainees to develop the skills that are required in the workplace. They can then build on this and begin their career with an apprenticeship or other sustainable job.

“With National Apprenticeship Week starting next week (3-7 March 2014), there has never been a better time to start thinking about offering a traineeship or an apprenticeship.”

Funded projects are being delivered nationally, one project introduced in 2013 was The skills support for the workforce, which is backed by the ESF. The fund excists to support employers by upskilling the workforce.

Traineeships and apprenticeship programs aimed at the logistics industry are avilable through National Safety Training Services with the content tailored to the needs of the business and the individual.

Employers who want to find out how they can take on their first trainee and help develop talented young people with the practical skills for the workplace can access SSW (Skills support for the workforce) by calling 01482 644855

This recently revised brief guide describes what employers need to do to protect their employees from falls from height. Falls from height are one of the biggest causes of workplace fatalities and major injuries.

INDG401 describes what employers need to do to protect their employees from falls from height. Falls from height are one of the biggest causes of workplace fatalities and major injuries. Work at height means work in any place where, if there were no precautions in place, a person could fall a distance liable to cause personal injury. Common causes are falls from ladders and through fragile roofs. The Work at Height Regulations 2005 aim to prevent death and injury from a fall from height.
