Europa invests heavily in health and safety training

Europa Worldwide Group is sending 25 members of its senior team on an internationally accredited training course.

The logistics operator is ensuring all senior team members with operational responsibility have Institute of Occupational Health and Safety (IOSH) qualifications, investing over £25,000 and more than 560 business hours (75 days) in their training.

HR and Facilities Director at Europa Carl Potter said the aim was to fully embed health and safety within the culture and DNA of Europa, by cascading the training through from the senior team members to all staff.

He said: “Our goal at Europa is to ensure that each and every member of our team understands the importance of adhering to health and safety regulations. Our sector is fraught with many potential operational safety hazards, so we need to be constantly aware of our surroundings and our policies need to be regularly reviewed and updated.

“We also invest a lot of time and resource in our online health and safety compliance management system, called E-SES, which is a visible and accessible record of all of our Health and Safety compliance and also a record of each team member and the current level of training they hold.”
