Courses tailored to your precise needs.

Even though our training covers numerous industries and activities, sometimes you need training that’s specific to the needs of your site. Never fear.

Our safety experts love site visits, so let them come to you. You may need a single training solution in one place, or a wide range of worldwide training that complies with the needs of different regions. Either way, we’ll take a good look around, and talk to you about the most effective training.

In addition to training, 3M Safety Training also offers a range of consultancy and inspection services:

E-Learning.

3M Safety Training offers an interactive ‘Introduction to Work at Height module’ and a portfolio of Health and Safety E-Learning courses that can supplement or replace your present introductory courses.

The benefits to E-Learning.

1. 3M Safety Training E-Learn and Blended Learning

3M Safety Training offers 3 of its Work at Height courses through a combination of E-Learning and Practical Skills training, commonly known as Blended Learning.

• HS1

• Roof Worker

• Basic Climber

Additional courses, including RF Safety are planned. Company specific modules can be developed upon request.

2. What are the Benefits?

Here are some of the reasons why E-Learning should play a part in your training, portfolio going forward.

• Higher Learning Retention than Traditional Learning For classroom based courses delegates often allow the mind to wander. E-Learning is proven to focus the mind more closely in the one-to-one relationship with the information being given.

• Capacity and Consistency E-Learning provides a high level of consistency in the learning, as the learned media remains constant and the delivery method the same each and every time. • Saves Time and Money It helps reduce time away from the job, reduces overall travel costs and allows twice as many delegates to be taught the practical element of the course in 1 Day.

• Effective Administration The E-Learning product has an integral Learning Management System that allows you to see your complete suite of E-Learning modules and who has attended which module at the touch of a button.

3. The Cost Benefits

Certain courses will always require face to face training but the theory element of the 3 selected courses can be effectively delivered through E-Learning. As a result, 2 practical sessions to be delivered in the same amount of face to face time that 1 course would normally require. This allows 3M Safety Training to provide you with a 50% saving on the second practical course. Additional savings are made through reduced travel costs and time away from the workplace.

4. Additional E-Learning Introductory / Refresher Modules

3M also offers a suite of Introductory Health & Safety modules. This allows clients to ensure that they provide on-going training, especially Continuous Professional Development and refresher training to all employees without having to send them away on external courses.

We can create tailored packages of modules that will address both the core health and safety modules and any other additional modules specific to your needs.
