Dear Colleagues,

We all find ourselves in an unprecedented situation as a result of the fast developing situation with Covid-19. At HCS Safety our duty is to provide a professional, friendly and practical service to our clients, and at the same time to look after the welfare of our staff. The following policy has been put in place as a proportionate response to risk in these difficult times. It is likely that we will need to update this policy frequently as the situation develops, so please continue to consult this website for the latest on training and our other services. However the situation develops, we will be here to advise and support you as we have been for the last 20 years.

Training

Training courses will no longer run at our premises until further notice. In the light of NHS and government pleas to reduce contact between people we feel it is our duty to take this step.

We are able to offer remote training for NEBOSH, IOSH, and UKATA courses as well as the CITB Health and Safety Awareness course.

The courses and dates currently available remotely are as follows:

• 8th April – Asbestos Awareness
• 14th April – IOSH Managing Refresher
• 16th April – IOSH Working
• 16th April – IOSH Leading
• 21st April – CITB H&S Awareness
• 23rd April – Asbestos Awareness
• 29th April – First aid for Mental Health
• 4th May – CITB H&S Awareness
• 5th May – Risk assessment
• 6th May – PASMA  Towers for Users

If you have staff who are furloughed, we believe they are able to attend training in order to keep their role current, although we strongly advise you to take separate advice on this matter.

Annual Review Meetings

We are able to conduct these remotely using Microsoft teams. This will keep your legal obligations intact and we have found it very easy to use. Please chat to us at the office about how to obtain this software and we can talk you through it.

Site Safety Inspections

We will continue to conduct site safety inspections as long as our clients require them, although we do have some limitations in place.

Thank you for your support.

Our safety training courses are written and designed with our hardworking delegates in mind. The classroom may be unfamiliar territory for some – our most rewarding task is to encourage our course delegates to enjoy the feeling of knowledge gained in a memorable, engaging way, with plenty of interaction and humour.
