Health and safety training that meets your legal duties

Every employer in the UK has a legal duty to protect the health and safety of their staff, and training is one of the clearest ways to meet it. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, you must give employees the information, instruction and training they need to work safely. Our health and safety training helps you do exactly that, from basic awareness for all staff to higher level courses for managers and supervisors. The courses are practical and grounded in real workplaces, so your team understands the risks they actually face and knows how to control them, which protects your people and keeps your business on the right side of the law.

What health and safety training is mandatory?

There is no single mandatory course, but the law requires you to train staff in the risks relevant to their work. In most workplaces that means general health and safety awareness for everyone, plus specific training such as fire safety, manual handling, first aid, risk assessment and COSHH where they apply. Managers and supervisors often need a higher level qualification so they can lead safely and meet their responsibilities. We can review your workplace, tell you what your staff need, and deliver the right mix from a single provider, so nothing important falls through the gaps.

On-site health and safety courses, built around your workplace

We deliver health and safety training at your premises anywhere in the UK and shape the content around your sector and your risks. Training your team on site means the examples are relevant, the whole team learns to the same standard, and you avoid the cost of sending people away. Whether you need a short awareness session, manual handling, risk assessment training or a programme for your managers, we can build it. Every learner receives a recognised certificate for your records and inspections, and with a 99 percent pass rate your team is in safe hands. Tell us about your workplace and we will recommend the right courses.
