Rebekah Stevens speaks with EMA Quality Assurance Manager Kevin Chambers about why a structured training needs analysis is critical for effective health and safety management.
They explore how organisations can identify capability gaps, prioritise training based on risk, and ensure workers have the skills needed to operate safely. Kevin shares practical steps, from desktop analysis to staff and supervisor insights – to build a clear picture of training needs.
The conversation also highlights why training isn’t always the answer, and how to take a strategic approach to improving safety performance.
