Introduction to Health & Safety and First Aid courses
Our one-day Introduction to Health & Safety and First Aid courses are popular with businesses across the UK.
We also provide training courses for:
– Working at Height
– Risk Assessments
– Manual Handling
– and many more core Health & Safety areas.
Every attendee at a Howarths Health & Safety training course will receive an individual Certificate of Attendance for evidence of on-going compliance and training.
Our expert Health & Safety team can also work with you to devise a bespoke course which fits your business requirements perfectly, adding value to your workforce and protecting those who are part of it.
Your bolt-on Health & Safety team
Many clients work with us on a retained basis as their bolt-on Health & Safety department, and our team has a wealth of experience working with large manufacturing businesses on production lines and factory floors where risk is prevalent and regular health and safety checks are required.
You’ll be allocated a dedicated health and safety expert from our advisory team who will visit your premises to carry out health and safety audits, and we’ll work with you to tailor the number of visits required to meet your business needs.
The service we provide is personal, so you’ll get to know your advisor. Just as importantly, they will get to know you, your business and how it works. This way, you know that your needs are catered for in a way that ensures ongoing health and safety compliance.
Following each visit, a report will be drafted by your consultant highlighting any health and safety issues for you to be aware of, before helping you make improvements. Plus, our 24/7 advice line means we’ll be available whenever you need us.
