Health and Safety Training for Homeworkers Reviews

Warning that you need to download the assessment and fill out rather than fill out in window comes at the end after the test. This is too late as the the assessment comes up at the end of the slides so no warning not to fill out in window and you can't click next until you say you have read that. You then do the test and then get the message saying you just wasted your time filling out the form and need to download and do it again.

Some of the content was odd/pointless.

the lack of reciprocity with other government organizations is surely not acceptable

The latter parts of the module are important and useful, however the earlier ones are borderline ridiculous - the need for adults to be told 'not to leave a cup on the edge of a worktop' or 'don't run when only wearing socks' is unnecessary. This is basic good housekeeping that applies when in the home (and any other setting) regardless of whether it's used as a place of work or not. The suggestion that the home office can be decorated and personalised starts to trivialise health and safety - interior design is up the the individual and it doesn't need a video to tell me I can do this. All staff are very busy but still need this important training so it should be trimmed down to what people need to know. Spending nearly an hour being told about some things that are entirely obvious to people who have lived in houses for at least 16 years isn't a good use of time.

The majority of the content on this course is duplicated content from other iHasco courses. If I have just completed the mandatory Fire Awareness, DSE, and Manual handling courses, then I do not want to have to sit through the exact same animations and videos that have been copied from those courses and duplicated here. There needs to be more guidance about if and how courses use duplicated content, so that those assigning courses can avoid making users waste their time sitting through duplicated content.

The course covered subjects you must already know. Trip hazards and where I should put my tea, verge on insulting - seems to be a course for a course’s sake.It is well presented - but just too long and unnecessary.

A lot of this is repetitive and repeats what is in the H&S at work video. If you have done this can it not be a little shorter.

As if the animated back grounds and arm waving wasnt enough now your adding in random distracting sound effects and sudden changes in voice over? The summaries were poor and didnt if you only took notes from them you would not pass the test
