Training is fundamental to ensuring STFC staff are competent to undertake activities where SHE hazards exist.
Mandatory SHE Training
STFC has a set of mandatory SHE training packages which must be completed by all staff, users and tenants who will be on STFC site(s) more than 2 days per week in a 3 month period. These training courses can be accessed using the link to the online training system below, if you are a member of STFC staff, please use the single sign in button in the bottom right of the login page.

Hazard Specific SHE Training
In addition all line managers should carry out Risk Assessments to indentify the hazards associated with the activities their staff undertake and through this process identify hazard specific training needs.
The
'SHE Training Catalogue' should be used to help this process. Each hazard specific SHE code also includes a
training appendix giving further details on the relevant training.
Once training needs have been identified contact your
site specific SHE training contact to organise training.
Note that some Hazard Specific Training is mandatory before undertaking certain activities (for example Radiation Awareness training)
