We offer a full range of training courses (see home page), providing both bespoke training and nationally recognised qualifications in health and safety. Even our accredited courses are personalised to your own business processes. We can design and deliver the perfect programme to meet your needs, for the boardroom or the shop floor in any type of organization.

At a location to suit you. Most clients prefer to hold the training in-house on their own premises, but we are happy to run courses for you off-site, perhaps in a local hotel. We operate throughout the whole of the UK, Ireland, Europe and the Middle East.

All the accredited courses e.g. IOSH, require formal tests and successful candidates receive certificates from the awarding body. Certificates of attendance or achievement will be issued to delegates attending all of our other courses.

Usually within 3-6 weeks, depending on the course required and current availability. However, we have frequently arranged and delivered a course within a week.

Prices vary according to the course being delivered, location, delegate numbers and the level of individual tailoring required. As a result, you will always receive a competitive quote.

Nationally recognised courses have additional registration and certification fees. These are advised in advance and passed on at cost.

Firstly, you will get a dedicated and bespoke training package that some companies will just not take the time to do. Secondly, we pride ourselves on running positive and engaging training sessions. So that delegates go away not only with the required skills and knowledge, but with a more positive view of health and safety. Which will have a lasting effect within your organization.

We use a variety of methods during a course (PowerPoint, Flip Charts, White Boards etc.) depending on the subject and the course objectives. Our philosophy of positive and engaging training means that, wherever possible, we actively encourage discussion and include practical group exercises (often based on your working practices). This enables delegates to put the theory into practice and see, at the same time, how it relates to their own workplace. This makes them feel more able and confident to use their skills when back at the workplace.

Our principal tutor will deliver your course where possible, he is a highly qualified and experienced health and safety practitioner and tutor. However, we have a bank of several experienced, qualified tutors at our disposal when required. We will select the most appropriate trainer for the course content and delegate group. All tutors have been practitioners previously, and can bring that experience to the classroom, citing real workplace examples to illustrate and reinforce learning points.

In most cases, legally, there is no set frequency for refresher training, but the HSE recommends refresher training between 3 and 5 years or as specified by your risk assessment or insurer’s requirements. We would recommend refreshing your training every 3 years. However, some accredited training may dictate the refresher period. For instance, the NEBOSH General Certificate does not require refreshing at all and is yours for life!

A risk assessment is a logical, problem solving tool that helps decide the likelihood of what hazards in your workplace could lead to injury or ill health, through normal and foreseeable work practices.

Health and safety is predominantly a UK term, derived from legislation here in the UK. It essentially means everyone working together to ensure the health and safety of us all while we’re at work.

Ultimately, the employer is responsible, but employees and other duty holders (e.g. contractors) have a duty for their own and co–workers health and safety.

There are two different ‘Enforcing Authorities’ depending on the type of business you operate. Local authorities enforce health and safety in lower risk environments such as offices, shops, hotels, catering, and leisure activities. The Health & Safety Executive deal with higher risk environments such as factories, farms and building sites.

Statistics issued by the Health & Safety Executive each year, show that manual handling is one of the main causes of reportable workplace injuries. These injuries can lead to more than seven days off work, with the requirement then to report the injury to the HSE under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) 2013.

• Assess your handling processes and remove unnecessary tasks.
• Reduce the number and frequency of manual handling tasks.
• Provide employees with suitable training, tools and equipment to handle loads.
• Consider suitable mechanical lifting aids such as cranes, platform lifts or goods lifts.
