/PRZOOM - Newswire/ - Hazardous substances come in every conceivable form, and include not only labeled products, but the by-products of work like fumes, dust, and infectious pathogens. The law requires employers to provide proper training (CBT).

Every day thousands of people are exposed to hazardous substances at work. If the exposure is not prevented or properly controlled, it can cause serious illness, sometimes even death. It can also result in lost earnings, reduced productivity and expensive prosecutions. Under the COSHH Regulations 1999, employers must provide employees with safety handling information, instruction & training as is suitable for all employees to know the risks to health created by the exposure, and the precautions that need to be taken.

Abacus Safety has the most widely recognized form of Health and Safety Training using CBT (computer based training) available in Canada. The availability of this software marks the beginning of a suite of health and safety training products for the UK marketplace.

"We have built a solid reputation for the development of Training Programmes since 1987 utilizing outstanding graphic design, and easy to read content that has been constantly updated to deliver the most effective Health and Safety self learning programmes available today", said Peter Bowen founder of Abacus Safety.

In 1992 Abacus Safety was the first company in the World to deliver a computer based training method for Hazardous Materials. Today, that trend is continued as new training products are developed to improve the well-being of employees worldwide.

Computer Based Learning allows the user to learn at a fast and effective pace. This form of learning leads to a faster retention of the material because it is interactive. It allows the learning to speed through material in which the user might already be proficient in, and absorb the material with which they need to learn. Other advantages to this type of learning from an employers point of view is that they can provide training 24/7 and thereby save time and valuable resources.

The COSHH Training software is easy to use by everyone in the organisation - trained employees plus comprehensive training records in one complete training package.
