Only 55% of UK Organisations Offer Health and Safety Training

Is this a true reflection of the state of health and safety training in the UK?

A recent survey by Digits, of 1001 UK employees and 60 UK Learning and Development and HR practitioners, found that only 55% of organisations offer their employees health and safety training. UK Health and Safety law states that employers must provide clear health and safety information and training to all employees, so what’s going on? 470 respondents stating that they aren’t offered health and safety training might sound like a small number, but it should be zero.
