iHASCO Asbestos Awareness course receives IATP approval

Posted on the 25th of March 2013 in News & Views

We are delighted to announce our Asbestos Awareness training programme has now been formally and independently audited and
we can confirm we are members of IATP (The Independent Asbestos Training Providers Association).

The IATP are a national not for profit organisation who work in co-operation with the HSE and carefully and independently audit every training provider they recommend. We were therefore naturally proud and delighted when their auditor said that our course was ‘the best e-learning programme seen to date’.

The report also praised the course’s clear and concise language, high quality images and voice over, great design and quality and praised the course for being at the right level for the target audience.

Anyone who may come into contact with asbestos MUST be given adequate training and our course is not only ‘the best seen to date’ but it’s incredibly easy to deliver and great value too.

For more information, a live demo, a trial or a quotation please call us on 01344 867088 or email enquiries@ihasco.co.uk.

Does your School have Asbestos?

Posted on the 13th of March 2013 in News & Views

75% of UK schools have Asbestos in the UK......read more  

If your school was built before 2000 then it could include your school too!

The solution to any problem starts with a greater AWARENESS. All school staff need an understanding of the dangers of Asbestos, it's properties, where it might be found and what to do. Our new Asbestos Awareness course will therefore benefit anyone who works in education.

Red Day at iHasco

Posted on the 4th of March 2013 in News & Views

Fun was had by all, dressed in a red item of clothing, and tasked with incorporating words relating to Valentines Day in conversations during the course of the day. Obviously LOVE being the most popular choice, followed by rose, candle, romance, kiss, red, cuddle, seduction, massage, bubble bath and many more. Well done to Joel who went one step further and wore his red onesie!

Nic, now known as our in house baker, baked irresistible heart shaped cakes and biscuits - all in the Valentine theme, that tantalised our taste buds.

Everyone held there breath in anticipation of raffle tickets being drawn – lots of lovely prizes, wine, chocolates, cinema tickets, vouchers and beautiful flowers to name but a few.

Thanks Jackie for organising not only a fun day for us but we also raised our largest sum of money yet for our dedicated charity ‘The Fountain Centre’ in the St Luke’s cancer unit at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford.

HSE set intervention fee at £124 PER HOUR

Posted on the 20th of February 2013 in News & Views

Organisations that break health and safety laws are liable for recovery of HSE’s related costs at the rate of a £124 per hour. Considering this includes time spent inspecting, investigating and taking enforcement action considerable bills will inevitably be faced. These would naturally be in addition to the original cost of any health and safety lapse.

Any business that is found to have complied with their legal obligations pays nothing.

We believe meeting these obligations is vital and not particularly onerous. IHASCO specialise in helping all organisations provide training to staff that not only helps them comply with legislation but also helps them build a more resilient and productive workforce.
