At Solutions Training our professional management and health & safety team embodies a wealth of industry specific experience across a range of disciplines. This is one key reason why our health & safety training is different, because all of us are health & safety specialists as well as qualified trainers; with first hand experience of the real issues individuals, companies and organisations face.
The fact that we are the only first aid training provider in the UK to guarantee courses will be delivered only by staff that have trained and qualified as an NHS ambulance paramedic or nurse bears testimony to this.
If you need a health & safety consultant we will provide one with first hand experience of your sector
The experience and understanding of our multidisciplinary health & safety team allows us to engage more effectively with all those to be trained. This allows us to deliver highly focused, cost effective and efficient health & safety training in all aspects of health and safety, including violence and aggression, first aid, the manual handling of people and manual handling of inanimate loads and accredited special needs transport across a wide range of industries and sectors.
