“UK Employers Are Getting Mandatory Training Wrong” — Here Are the 7 Mistakes Experts See Every Week

Kasorb Green Tick
Mandatory training in the UK is confusing, repetitive, and full of conflicting information.
Kasorb Green Tick
But according to clinical experts who train thousands of staff every year, most organisations are making the same 7 mistakes — and it's quietly putting them at risk of failed inspections, non-compliance, or staff who don’t know what to do in an emergency.

Protect your staff and reputation

Mandatory training your team will actually use in emergencies.

1. Most teams don't know which UK training is legally mandatory

Every workplace needs the "Core 3": Fire, First Aid, and Manual Handling. This applies whether you're a care home, manufacturer, NHS site, or office. Additional training depends on your specific environment.

2. Managers guess what they need instead of using proper risk categories

Mandatory training depends on risk level: low (offices), medium (care homes, retail), or high (manufacturing, warehouses, clinical). This determines Fire Marshal numbers, first aid levels, and manual handling requirements. Most get it wrong.

3. Many companies don't know the Fire Marshal & First Aid ratio

Fire Marshal ratios: 1 per 50 (low risk), 1 per 20 (medium), 1 per 15 (high). First aid levels vary: offices need Emergency First Aid, manufacturing needs 3-day First Aid at Work. Kasorb confirms your exact requirements in 2 minutes.

4. Booking “generic” training that ignores your environment

Care homes, warehouses, and offices differ completely. Training must match your building, staffing, risk profile, equipment, and hazards. Otherwise you're buying certificates, not safety.

5. Using trainers who've never handled real emergencies

Life-saving judgment can't be learned from textbooks. Kasorb's trainers are real clinicians: paramedics, ER nurses, and NHS practitioners who've actually saved lives.

6. Delivering manual handling that’s wrong for your setting

Correct courses vary: offices need lifting training, care homes need safe assisting (never lifting), factories need machine/equipment safety. Generic manual handling courses shouldn't exist.

7. Forgetting the additional mandatory or statutory courses for your industry

The Core 3 is just the start. Care homes need safeguarding, medication management, and mental capacity. Manufacturing requires COSHH and chemical safety. Offices need DSE and evacuation support training.
