General Health and Safety Awareness:
This can be used either as a staff induction or a refresher session and will be geared to the individual client's business operations (courses run both full and half days). The session includes
- roles and responsibilities
- the law and prosecution
- general Health & Safety
and places a strong emphasis on carrying out practical risk assessments. The half day is not accredited, the full day course is CIEH accredited
Manual Handling:

Ergonomics and DSE (workstation)
Involves both the training of staff and the completion of individual workstation assessments (half day session)
Breakaway Training:
(Avoiding aggression & violence at work)
For any staff involved in face-to-face client/customer situations, this one day course is the basic building block to make staff aware of their legal rights and to develop competence in de-escalating aggressive situations or gaining physical release from an attacker.
Control and Restraint Training:
This full day session builds on the Breakaway Training day to provide greater understanding of rights, duties and physical techniques, should physical intervention become necessary. Business risk and circumstances may dictate that staff use physical intervention, which will necessitate this additional training session. Suitable for Education, Care and Hospitality, i.e. Door Supervisors, Security Staff etc.
