We are going to be appearing in the FM Journal magazine. Here is a draft of the advertisiment that will be appearing.

There are still changes to be made, I'll update as it changes but for now, enjoy.

Safety Course for Managers

2008-06-23T15:57:00.001+01:00

Just thought I'd update now that the first date for the course has been and gone, rather successfully, I might add.

On the 5th of June (last Thursday) the first "Health and Safety for Managers and Key Personnel" class was held.

I myself am not a manager, however I found the class was not to difficult to understand and full of useful information. The course contains information about current important legislation that many do not know fully about. This includes everyone's role as duty holders in the workplace.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Course Aims include:

-Helping you understand your responsibilities in working safely at height.

-Empowering you with working at height issues.

-Helping you manage safety more effectively.

-Contributing towards the overall safety of your organization.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the many insights in the course is the truth about the fabled "2 meter rule". Many people actually believe that so long as the job's under 2 meters, it's not considered working at height...this is not the case however. About 2/3 of all major injuries occur below 2 meters. Bear in mind that falls from height are the most common cause of fatal injuries and we can see that there's a serious need for proper training.

How not to work at height...

This is life before Health and Safety was really emphasised, we've certainly come a long way since then.

Working At Height

2008-05-06T16:06:00.004+01:00

In June we are launching a new training course in which we have seen a demand in order to educate clearly and comprehensively accurate information related to ‘The Working at Height’ Regulations. Although these regulations have been in force legally since April 6th 2005 (3 years), there still seems a long way to go in educating the commercial, retail and industrial sectors.

With many years of practical and theoretical experience in working at height and working with The HSE in many various situations and with a wide range of access equipment; we have analyzed, debated on occasion and then applied. We feel well qualified to present you this detailed Working at Height Course.

Our next available date is: Thursday 5th June 2008

We are taking bookings now!

We are planning on another training day in July, date is uncomfirmed.

There will be a variety of courses soon to be launched. Stand by for more details!
