A recent article by Comcare stated a review of studies found that online work health and safety training is adaptable, affordable and effective for the prevention of injuries. It can improve workers' knowledge and skills, leading to fewer workplace injuries and accidents.

The review identified 25 studies of interventions carried out on a mobile platform, the web or both. The findings indicate that online training offers advantages to workers and assists employers to effectively monitor employee progress and to ensure that training requirements and needs are met. The educational programs covered work health and safety related topics such as office ergonomics, neck and shoulder pain, obesity, heart disease, physical activity and more.

Have you signed your workers up for the Safe Formworker Program to improve your workers knowledge, skills and prevent accidents?

If the competency of a worker is improved, improvements in safety, productivity, and quality will follow.

By implementing the Safe Formworker Program, the Formwork Industry could significantly contribute to improving training compliance among formworkers. Through a targeted and comprehensive approach, the program could empower formworkers with the knowledge and skills they need to work safely, ultimately enhancing overall safety standards in the formwork industry, leading to improved quality and productivity.

Furthermore, the program provides a vehicle to re-engage the formworker in learning and provides the first step to the newly proposed Formwork Education and Skills pathway to improve Australian formwork safety, via certified and non-certified training.
