Progression is discussed against the role and experience of each learner. Training supports competence development alongside practical experience and site-specific assessment.

Broaden your expertise: Process Safety Management and Implementing COMAH offer further development for people involved in managing major accident hazards.

A wider range of safety expertise.

Explore the subjects relevant to your team.

COSHH Foundation

Understanding substances hazardous to health, interpreting safety information and developing practical control arrangements. COSHH register development support is also available.

CLP & hazard communication

Classification, labelling, pictograms and hazard communication to help people interpret chemical information and recognise its relevance to their work.

Process Safety Management

Develop understanding of major accident hazards, the role of effective barriers and the management arrangements that support their reliability.

Fire safety

Discuss fire safety training for your workforce, including hazard awareness, prevention and understanding site emergency arrangements.

Working at height & harness inspection

Training covering working at height risks, safe systems of work and harness inspection requirements, tailored to the activities your people undertake.

Confined space safe systems of work

Understanding confined space hazards and the planning, responsibilities and safe systems of work needed to support controlled activities.

Risk assessment & bow tie methodology

Practical approaches to identifying hazards, understanding consequences, selecting controls and examining the barriers that prevent major incidents.

Health & safety law and competence

Training in health and safety responsibilities, alongside competency assessment and verification support appropriate to the work being undertaken.

DELIVERY THAT FITS YOUR ORGANISATION

Classroom and in-house training, with practical activities and assessment appropriate to the programme. Contact us to discuss dates, group requirements and delivery arrangements.

PROCESS SAFETY / THE CONNECTED PICTURE

Different regulations.
One common thread.

Understanding the substance is the starting point. Our training connects hazard information, health protection, fire and explosion control, and major accident prevention.

CLP

Understand and communicate the hazards

Classification, labelling and packaging help identify chemical hazards. Labels and safety data sheets provide information that supports workplace assessment.

HAZARD INFORMATION SUPPORTS THREE CONNECTED AREAS

COSHH

Protect health

Understand exposure to substances hazardous to health and the measures needed to prevent or adequately control it.

DSEAR

Control physical safety risks

Understand risks from fire, explosion and substances corrosive to metals, and the controls needed for the work being undertaken.

COMAH

Prevent major accidents

At establishments within scope, prevent and limit the consequences of major accidents involving dangerous substances. Applicability depends on Schedule 1 substances, quantities and aggregation rules.

Identify substances. Understand hazards. Control risks. Develop competence.

One substance can present both health and physical safety hazards. These regulations have distinct duties that can apply alongside each other; one course does not replace the others.
