ACT Safety Training Courses

ACT Safety Health & Safety courses cover the basic requirements for all safety representatives, supervisors and managers, and companies wishing to improve their overall health and safety and up-skill their workforce use these courses as the foundation building blocks. Trainees gain an understanding of the legislation; reinforce organisations’ safety practises and procedures, identify hazards, carry out risk assessment, develop control measures and monitor control measures for effectiveness. ACT Safety recommend using company documentation i.e. hazard id forms, risk assessments, incident reports, warning cards and they like to give the participants practice on completing the systems that they will be using back in the workplace.

One of their most important is their Gas Testing Course, which is vital for workers when entering a confined space, as there is always the possibility of the atmosphere becoming flammable, toxic or outside the normal safe oxygen level. ACT Safety offer both gas and atmosphere testing unit standards. They train people to operate an Atmospheric Testing Device to determine a suitable atmosphere exists to work safely and the course is specifically developed for confined space entry. This is the unit that is recommended for confined space.

ACT Safety Ltd pride themselves on their ICAM Principal Investigators (Incident Investigation) training. Not only do they train to a very high standard but they teach their trainees to find route cause and instigate preventive measures. Their trainers have many years’ experience with incident investigations on the front line so they know the pitfalls and ways to overcome them. This training covers the legal requirements and completion of Worksafe New Zealand documentation, scene investigations, data collection and interviewing techniques. It gives the trainees a systematic approach to investigating incidents, enabling the root causes to be identified and develop smarter corrective actions. During courses completed in house trainees complete their own company documentation, including incident investigation reporting and recording. ACT Safety Ltd also offer an Independent Incident Investigation Service where they assist businesses in the investigation of incidents or accidents.

At ACT Safety Ltd they also offer Isolation & Lockout courses. Because there are multiple forms of energy in the work-place, this energy must be controlled in order to give safe access to any mechanized system.  Many accidents have occurred due to the lack of isolation systems and employee knowledge of the hazards associated with plant and equipment. Their trainers have many years’ experience in the development and total installation of isolation systems, from plant modifications, isolation procedure development, training and auditing of the whole isolation process. ACT Safety can also supply your company with the resources required i.e. padlocks, lock boxes etc. at competitive prices.
