Providing employees with the opportunity to learn at their own pace and at a time that is convenient for them, online health and safety training offers flexibility and convenience. The elimination of expenses related to travel and lodging makes it possible for it to be more cost-effective than in-person training.
There is also the possibility of easily updating online courses so that they reflect the most recent rules and best practices.
Still, in-person instruction offers the chance for hands-on experience and instantaneous teacher response. For pragmatic skills like first aid or manual handling procedures, which call for physical engagement and demonstration, it can be more successful.
Both strategies have benefits; the best one is a mixed strategy combining in-person and online instruction. This guarantees staff members thorough instruction covering both theoretical knowledge and useful skills.
