Good housekeeping is essential for employers and employees because, in the workplace, it’s everyone’s job. If you’re a business owner, manager, or a person in charge of health and safety in your workplace, understanding what good housekeeping is and why it’s important is crucial in maintaining a workplace that’s compliant with the HSE. This course will help you.
From spotting potential hazards to setting up an efficient good housekeeping programme, this course has you covered. You’ll learn why bad housekeeping is bad for business, as well as the extra benefits good housekeeping can bring. The course will also give you advice on creating your own good housekeeping systems, and promoting the benefits and importance of good housekeeping with your employees.
We all know accidents happen, right? Stubbing your toe, banging your head, and the most painful of all, standing on that rogue drawing pin… aaagh! Okay, accidents like this are difficult to prevent but thankfully they don’t usually leave any lasting damage.
In the workplace, it’s a different story. A big cause of preventable injuries at work is poor housekeeping, which can have not only a negative effect on your workforce but can also have legal implications for you as a business. Good housekeeping includes anything that helps ensure the safety of workers, from preventing trip hazards and controlling hazardous substances, to fire safety. Good housekeeping should be the foundation of a safe workplace environment.
Approved by leading health and safety organization, IOSH, our good housekeeping course uses a relatable scenario of the untidy office, alongside our usual high-quality animation, to help make the learning memorable. Interactive menus, and ‘click and tell’ sections put the learner in control of their learning, and they can test their knowledge throughout the course with our interactive knowledge checkers, and finally an interactive quiz. This helps to build learning that will stick.
This course also has an assessment at the end which allows learners to test their understanding and helps businesses demonstrate a level of competence in the topic.
With a bank of questions learners will get randomised assessments which means if people do fail the assessment, they aren't faced with the same quiz again; after all you want to test learners knowledge and not their ability to remember the right button to press second time around.
Everyone has the right to learn and learner need can vary demanding on environment or disabilities. This course comes with transcripts so people have text options for an media, subtitles for all videos and is screen reader friendly with alternative text.
We take a number of steps to ensure visuals and navigation is easy for your people. For more information on the steps we take for accessibility check out how we make our courses.
