Programs & Modules

Mentor Training programs and modules are designed to address relevant issues that exist at industry and individual organisational level with regard to safety efficiencies and quality training. These include but are not limited to:

Occupational Health & Safety Issues
Programs and modules are created specifically for the local marketplace, encapsulating local regulations, practices and community expectations.

Industry Specific Safety Training
A wide array of accurate programs and modules available to both employers and employees written by industry personnel in the understood language of the particular industry.

Company Specific Safety Training
All Programs and modules can be designed to the exacting needs of each individual client's specific equipment, processes, products and services.

Real Time Provision
All programs and modules utilise industry affiliations and input from experts to provide both up to date and cutting edge changes to health and safety legislation and industry specific processes.

Benchmarked Practices
All programs and modules utilise 'best in class' techniques from both similar and diverse industries and organisations that have relevance to an individual clients industry or mode of business.

Continuing Support
Bridging programs and modules deliver up to date Government regulatory and OH&S amendments, human resources issues and developments, equipment or process updates, and improved safety innovations.

Comprehensive Course Notes
These assist employers to get the optimum result from each training module as well as to provide feedback from the employees to assist in the further development of the programs.

Supporting Documentation
All programs and modules also include 'sign-off' clauses to provide cover for both employers and employees. Employers develop an audit trail documenting the steps they have taken to provide suitable training. Employees are protected from being required to undertake hazardous tasks where the relevant Mentor Training program or module has either not been completed or has not been passed.

Training Delivery
The material provided is extremely comprehensive in content, yet basic in its delivery style to ensure optimum trainee uptake. Ongoing support is provided to ensure continued relevance and focus on safety issues. Programs and modules can also be provided in multiple languages if required.

Cost Effective
The often prohibitive cost to individual organisations preparing and producing their own training programs is one of the impelling advantages with the Mentor Training system. The programs are modularised and employers need only purchase or licence relevant components. The modules are competitively priced and allow organisations to create comprehensive training systems within modest budgets. The opportunity cost of not initiating appropriate safety training includes unnecessary workplace injury, compensation payouts, fines and potentially, criminal convictions.

Productivity Advantages
The programs, modules and supporting material are designed combining the targeted and specialist knowledge and experience of the relevant industry with the 'big picture' view that comes from working with many diverse industries, organisations, products, services and processes. Industries and organisations looking to initiate better safety training practices need not 'reinvent the wheel' but tap into this knowledge base and design tailor made programs and modules from this wealth of information and available processes.

Ancillary Benefits
Improved training will lead to fewer workplace accidents and better trained employers and employees. This will have a positive effect on such areas as staff morale, attitudes and turnover, employee downtime, workplace confidence, and quicker and more effective induction periods. Profitability and worker productivity will be improved through more efficient and effective operational practices derived from the programs and modules completed. Another benefit of improved training can be a reduction in equipment damage and downtime normally caused by insufficiently trained employees operating equipment incorrectly.
