Your questions, answered

How can I log and track work-related injuries, accidents and dangerous occurrences?

Our RIDDOR Registers allow you to securely record and track work-related injuries and dangerous occurrences, ensuring compliance with the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases, and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR). This tool helps you monitor incidents, maintain an accurate audit trail, and take proactive steps to prevent future incidents.

How can I ensure my employees’ workstation setups comply with health and safety regulations?

Our DSE (Display Screen Equipment) Assessment tool helps you evaluate employees' workstation setups to ensure they meet health and safety standards. It guides employees through an easy-to-use self-assessment, identifying risks related to posture, screen positioning, and seating. Administrators can review flagged issues and take necessary actions to ensure compliance.

How can I measure and improve employee wellbeing in relation to health and safety?

Our Employee Wellbeing Survey helps you assess factors affecting employee health, including stress, mental wellbeing, and physical health. This anonymous survey provides valuable insights to inform wellbeing initiatives and create a healthier, more supportive work environment.

Are Skillcast courses SCORM-compliant?

Yes. This means they can be delivered via the Skillcast Portal or any other SCORM-compliant Learning Management System.

What other tools are needed beyond training?

A comprehensive compliance solution often needs more than just training. Alongside e-learning, tools like declarationssurveys, and registers that track compliance tasks are usually essential. Skillcast provides full support to help you set up these additional tools.

Is our training content still compliant with the latest legislation?

  • You can check the latest course content updates in our library updates page: https://www.skillcast.com/compliance-course-library-updates
  • For major legislative changes, we:
    • Will send you email alerts to ensure you are notified
    • Offer you a free trial of newly created or updated content
    • Host webinars with compliance experts to explain the changes and how our training supports your ongoing compliance

Can you translate our content into other languages?

Yes, we offer translations in a wide range of languages. Let us know your needs, and we’ll confirm availability or work with you to plan translations for your selected modules.

How can I give employees a secure way to record suspicious activity so we can act quickly?

Our Suspicious Activity Register allows staff to log concerns or irregularities they observe, helping you detect potential issues early. The secure register can be reviewed by compliance teams, enabling prompt investigation and action.
