Free health and safety training update

pdf version (what's that?)

The London Hazards Centre's free health and safety training project for Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) voluntary sector workers in London is continuing to gain momentum. Over 290 organisations have now registered for the programme and new groups are joining every week.

The first pilot training sessions took place in Camden during June and July. A variety of issues were covered over the three days including health and safety management, fire safety, bullying and harassment at work. Taking part in the training sessions were local environmental health officer Vicki Wallace, Angus Sangster from the London Fire Brigade and Camden UNISON member Kevin Jarman. All three were well received by the trainees. Other local guests have been invited to speak at the training sessions taking place in Brent and Westminster over the summer months.

London Hazards centre workers Mumtaz Mahmood and Angie Birtill are continuing to recruit BME groups to take part in the programme 300 BME groups throughout the Capital will receive training and developmental support over the next three years. If your group would like to take part in the programme, please contact Angie or Mumtaz at the centre.
