What are your thoughts on iHasco?
Whilst we understand that there is a lot more to Health & Safety than online learning, iHasco’s offering has allowed us to train all staff across the group in a cost-effective and time-efficient manner. Their LMS allows for easy tracking and reporting and our staff have given us fantastic feedback on the courses, rating iHasco 4.6 out of 5 overall. We couldn’t ask for much more from a provider!
Courses like Asbestos Awareness and Legionella Awareness teach our staff how to react should there be an incident when on-site. The way we see it, if our staff are safer on the job, then so are our clients!
