Duty of Care

The Health, Safety and Welfare of all apprentices on Suzuki Training premises is a priority. Suzuki AAP Health & Safety policy sets out the policies in broad terms. Activity to support this policy is implemented through individual Centre Managers, under guidance from the company’s qualified Health & Safety consultants.
The care of apprentices on the premises of their employer is the responsibility of the employer. Suzuki AAP will support this in the following ways:

All employers will have a Health & Safety check carried out by our Health & Safety team, to ascertain that the environment meets appropriate standards for apprentices.

On each review carried out in company by the apprentices’ Development Coach, issues surrounding Health & Safety will be discussed.

Employers are required to notify any incidents/accidents involving the apprentice to a member of Suzuki AAP staff who will ensure that necessary investigations are carried out and that appropriate bodies are informed

In Suzuki Training Centres
Annual external Health & Safety audits are carried out by the British Safety Council.

The highest risk category, in terms of car drivers, is young male drivers. In response to this, Suzuki AAP has a Driver Awareness Programme, delivered throughout the apprenticeship, which promotes safe driving/riding techniques.
