Health and safety training

Specialising in the research environment.

If you need your staff trained on IOSH-accredited courses in health & safety management:

• we specialise in management training for the research community
• we offer courses for senior management (1 day) and middle management (2 ½ days)
• we train in chemical safety for the workforce and managers

General training in health and safety management is often unhelpful in the context of scientific research. Whilst regulations have to be observed in all workplaces, guidance is usually based on industrial situations which may be very different from those in a research laboratory. For example, an industry is likely to use a few substances in large quantity whereas laboratories might use many more substances but in very small amounts. Procedures in industry may stay largely unchanged over long periods whereas scientific research will, by definition, be opening up new procedures regulary. We have wide experience in the research environment and extensive experience in training scientific management in the requirements of health and safety. We specialise in streamlining the risk assessment systems to enable scientists to work safely with focused, relevant risk management.
