Industrial sites and employers accepting people who have passed the National Safety Passport computer based training program have now received more assurance that their employees have the wisdom and expertise to work safely in a high hazard environment.

The National Safety Passport computer based training program producted by Cognition Media has received endorsement from Teesside University.

“Teesside University is concerned that all graduates going out into the process industries and associated supply chain have adequate training in health and safety, not only for their own well-being but as managers and professional engineers, setting the standards of practice for other employees” said Dr. Paul Shelton, Assistant Dean for Education Partnerships in the School of Science and Engineering. “We fully endorse the National Safety Passport as an essential step in ensuring that our graduates are equipped to become health and safety ambassadors in the workplace.”

This break through shows the National Safety Passport’s standing academically as well as professionally further demonstrating the top quality training in industrial health and safety that is delivered.

The program is totally transportable permitting users to manage the course around their other duties. No more need for time taken away from work, travelling or overnight costs; a clear winner in today’s economic climate.

The huge cost savings to the industry make the National Safety Passport a popular alternative to more traditional classroom based passport schemes and recognition from both EMSS and now Teesside University further prove the high quality of training that accompanies the cost savings. At a cost of £69.99 (ex VAT per person) the computer based training program includes the nationally recognised EMSS Safety Passport card which can be validated online for authenticity. This will emulate employer’s mandatory requirements to provide safety, health and environment (SHE) training with cost savings over those associated with currently established classroom based schemes.

The training has been proven to hold the attention of the candidate and improve knowledge retention while making the learning a more enjoyable experience. Comments from both users and management has been overwhelmingly positive.

The impressive monetary savings to the industry make the National Safety Passport a popular alternative to more traditional classroom based passport schemes and recognition from both EMSS and now Teesside University further prove the high quality of training that accompanies the cost savings.
