Training Services

Possibly the most important aspect of a health and safety management system. Employees must be trained to identify risks and hazards, use guards, wear protective clothing, etc..

Without training the workforce do not know why they have to comply with orders, often resulting in reduced compliance. Via training, their awareness of risks is increased, giving naturally increased compliance with the protective measures in place.

All training courses are tailored to your business. For many of the courses, we visit your facility to understand your workflow, gathering relevant data and information, enabling real situations to be used directly in your courses.

Training can be undertaken in-house at your facility or Black & White can arrange for it take place in a suitable location near to your site with, normally, between 6 to 20 per course. If you only have a small number of people to be trained then consider combining two courses into one training day.

If a subject required is not listed, or you have specific needs, then contact us as courses can be developed on demand.

Audits & Inspections

Under The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999

Every employer shall make and give effect to such arrangements as are appropriate, having regard to the nature of his activities and the size of his undertaking, for the effective planning, organisation, control, monitoring and review of the preventive and protective measures.

This means that you must carry out risk assessments and training and continue to monitor them to ensure that the control measures are working and are still effective.

As with most legislation, this applies to every company regardless of its size.  If you employ less than 5 persons you do not have to record the findings of these audits, inspections or surveys, but may have difficulty proving that they have been carried out if you do not.

Insurance companies are demanding more and more evidence of full health and safety systems - this is where we can help.

Advisory Services

The advisory telephone service provides advice, guidance and support on all Health, Safety and Environmental issues.

Employment of in-house Safety Professionals is often too expensive for many businesses to consider but the law still requires you to provide whatever information, instruction and training is needed to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of your employees.

In today’s ever increasingly busy workplace do you have time to trawl through endless legal information and then how do you know it is up to date and correct?

Our consultants are experienced in Safety Management, in a variety of environments, from industrial to construction, food to airfields, all who can relate to the practicalities and problems clients face in achieving and maintaining compliance with UK Health and Safety law.

Using our dedicated telephone service ensures you are only given correct, up to date information, applicable to your business.
