OFqual Regulated Health and Safety Training

Our Health and Safety Courses

Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, everyone has a part to play in health and safety at work to encourage high standards and prevent anyone from coming to harm while in their working environment.

Good health and safety practices ensure a more efficient and productive workplace and reduced down-time. As such, various parties have differing responsibilities in order to keep everyone safe.

We currently only deliver courses regulated by qualsafe but by the end of 2023 we intent to be able to deliver further courses accredited by NUCO, IOSH and IIRSM.
