The National Safety Passport Gains University Endorsement
Industrial locations and employers accepting candidates who have qualified from the National Safety Passport computer based training program have now received more reassurances that their employees have the information and expertise to act in a safe manner in a risk rich environment.
The National Safety Passport e-learning program authored by Cognition Media has received endorsement from Teesside University.
“Teesside University is concerned that all graduates going out into the process industries and associated supply chain have adequate training in health and safety, not only for their own well-being but as managers and professional engineers, setting the standards of practice for other employees” said Dr. Paul Shelton, Assistant Dean for Education Partnerships in the School of Science and Engineering. “We fully endorse the National Safety Passport as an essential step in ensuring that our graduates are equipped to become health and safety ambassadors in the workplace.”
This break through shows the National Safety Passport’s position academically as well as professionally further showing the top quality training in industrial health and safety that is delivered.
The program is totally transportable allowing candidates to fit it in around their other duties. No more need for time taken away from work, travelling or overnight costs; a clear winner in the current economic climate.
The huge cost savings to the industry make the National Safety Passport a popular alternative to more traditional classroom based passport schemes and recognition from both EMSS and now Teesside University further prove the high quality of training that accompanies the cost savings. At a cost of £69.99 (ex VAT per person) the e-learning program includes the nationally recognised EMSS Safety Passport card which can be validated online for authenticity. This will surpass employer’s compulsory need to provide safety, health and environment (SHE) training with cost savings over those associated with the usual schemes based in the classroom.
The course has been demonstrated to hold the attention of the candidate and improve knowledge retention while making the learning a more enjoyable experience. Feedback from both trainees and management has been overwhelmingly positive.
The impressive monetary savings to the industry make the National Safety Passport a popular alternative to more traditional classroom based passport schemes and recognition from both EMSS and now Teesside University further prove the high quality of training that accompanies the cost savings.
