What's Included

Training Courses That Make a Real Difference

Our training programmes are designed to be practical, memorable, and directly relevant to your workplace. We use real-world scenarios, interactive exercises, and clear learning objectives to ensure your team leaves each session with the knowledge and confidence to work safely.

Fire Safety Training

Every employee needs to understand fire risks, prevention measures, and evacuation procedures. Our fire safety courses cover the causes of fire, how to use extinguishers, your fire evacuation plan, and the roles of fire wardens and marshals. Compliant with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

First Aid Training

From Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) to the full three-day First Aid at Work (FAW) qualification, we deliver HSE-approved first aid training to suit your business needs. Courses include CPR, wound management, choking, burns, and how to manage an unconscious casualty.

Manual Handling

Musculoskeletal disorders account for a significant proportion of workplace injuries in the UK. Our manual handling courses teach safe lifting techniques, risk assessment, and the use of mechanical aids. Sessions include practical demonstrations relevant to your specific work activities.

COSHH Awareness

If your employees work with or near hazardous substances, they must understand the risks and how to protect themselves. Our COSHH training covers identification of hazardous substances, reading safety data sheets, correct storage and handling, and emergency procedures for exposure or spillage.

Manager Safety Training

Managers carry specific legal responsibilities for the health and safety of their teams. Our manager-level courses cover their duties under H&S legislation, how to conduct risk assessments, accident reporting obligations, and how to lead a safety-first culture within their departments.

Online Training Modules

For businesses with remote workers, multiple sites, or flexible schedules, our online training platform offers CPD-accredited courses that employees can complete at their own pace. Each module includes progress tracking, knowledge assessments, and downloadable certificates upon completion.

Why It Matters

Training Is a Legal Duty — and Your Best Investment in Safety

Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, every employer must provide adequate information, instruction, training, and supervision to ensure the health and safety of their employees. Failure to train your staff not only puts them at risk but also exposes your business to enforcement action, fines, and civil claims.

Beyond legal compliance, effective training empowers your workforce. Employees who understand the risks they face and know how to manage them are more confident, more productive, and far less likely to be involved in an accident. Training also demonstrates your commitment to your team's wellbeing, which improves morale and retention.

  • Fulfil your legal obligation to provide adequate H&S training
  • Significantly reduce workplace accidents and near misses
  • Provide recognised certificates and qualifications for your staff records
  • Boost employee confidence, morale, and retention through investment in their development
FAQs

Common Questions

Is health and safety training a legal requirement?

Yes. The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 requires employers to provide whatever information, instruction, training, and supervision is necessary to ensure the health and safety of their employees. Specific regulations such as the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 reinforce this duty, requiring training on recruitment, when exposed to new risks, and when responsibilities change.

How often should staff receive refresher training?

Refresher intervals vary by topic. Fire safety awareness is typically refreshed annually. First Aid at Work certificates are valid for three years with an annual refresher recommended. Manual handling training should be refreshed every one to two years. We will advise on the appropriate schedule for each course and manage your training matrix so nothing is missed.

Can training be delivered online instead of on-site?

Many of our courses are available online through our CPD-accredited e-learning platform, which is ideal for awareness-level training, induction modules, and refresher courses. However, some courses — particularly first aid and practical manual handling — require face-to-face delivery with hands-on practice. We can advise on the best delivery method for each topic.

Do delegates receive certificates after completing training?

Yes. Every delegate who successfully completes a course receives a certificate of completion. For accredited courses such as First Aid at Work, certificates are issued by the relevant awarding body and are valid for the specified period. All certificates can be verified and we keep records to help you maintain your training matrix.

How much does health and safety training cost?

Costs depend on the course type, delivery method, and number of delegates. On-site group sessions are often the most cost-effective option for businesses with multiple employees to train. Online courses offer flexible, per-person pricing. We provide a free training needs assessment and transparent quotation so you know exactly what to expect.
