Yes done mine in what seems ages ago mate. Worth a shot as you know doubt will learn something useful but it does tend to drag on for ever and ever. Also done the TUC Health & Safety Stage 2 Online Course but withdrew halfway through as IMHO I wasn't really learning anything that I didn't already know. Too much referal to the role of the Trade Unions for my liking whereas they should have been showing far more examples of how to submit various types of letters or correspondence into Royal Mail Management which covered a multitude of health and safety legislation.

Give it a go you can always jackit or consider doing the residential course at Alvescot Lodge via our Trade Union.

If you have a local TUC college, IMO it is far better to go to the college and do the training as you have other people in the same situation as you with whom you can share your experiences and discuss it far better than can be done on line. If you are an elected H&S Rep, you have a right to this training.
