Here are some examples of the training Community Clean has undertaken this year:
IOSH
IOSH is Europe's leading body for health and safety professionals and Community Clean now have four Managers certified with IOSH (Institution of Occupational Safety & Health). Managing Safely is a course designed to give managers all they need to know to help them promote awareness of health and safety matters in the workplace and ensure that high standards are achieved, and maintained.
Signing, Lighting & Guarding
Our operatives are trained to meet industry standards to ensure the health, safety and welfare of all our employees and those whom they effect. This includes complying with the requirements laid out within Chapter 8, Traffic Signs Manual. This is not a legal requirement but we recognise the principles make the industry a safer place to work.
ICATS
Our Operations Director, Martin Izzard, has been awarded an ICATS Trainer Certificate by the Institute ofCorrosion. As a certificated trainer, Martin is now qualified to train and assess operatives for individual certification. The ICATS scheme is a new comprehensive structured training scheme for the training, certification and registration of industrial surface preparation and coating operatives. It enables us to provide the 'best value' service to maximise coating performance over structure life and to reduce whole life costs.
NEBOSH
We now have a NEBOSH (National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health) qualified Health & Safety Officer to ensure we are up to date with all new legislation.
IPAF MEWPS for Managers
MEWPs for Managers is an essential training programme instructing managers on the responsibilities and knowledge they require to deal with the constantly changing demands related to working at height on site and the use of MEWPs. Community Clean constantly deal with height access challenges and understand the importance of working safely and effectively.
IPAF Mobile Vertical
This course provides training for Scissor lifts and other forms of mobile vertical platforms and Community Clean has had all the operational team leaders complete this training.
IPAF Mobile Boom
This course provides training for Boom lifts and other forms of Mobile boom platforms and Community Clean has had all the operational team leaders complete this training.
PASMA
All users of mobile aluminium towers are required to have had appropriate training for their safe assembly, alteration or dismantling. This is a requirement of the 2005 Working at Height Regulations. Community Clean sent our operational team leaders on a PASMA course to ensure they met the UK's industry standard for aluminium tower training.
CSCS
All Community Clean operatives carry CSCS cards (construction skills certificate scheme). CSCS was set up to help the construction industry to improve quality and reduce accidents.
Safety Harness Training
Health and safety legislation requires operatives to wear a full body harness with a short lanyard in ‘boom’ type access platforms (MEWPs). We sent our operational team leaders on a course so they know how to identify and select the correct type of harness, and of its safe inspection and use.
