Why choose SOCOTEC?

Your leading partner for technical expertise and service

SOCOTEC offers a variety of bespoke, professional health and safety training courses suitable for organisations of all sizes and across all sectors. Each course equips delegates with the skills and competencies required to recognise and manage health and safety and environmental risk in the workplace.

Why is health and safety training important?

From site safety and first aid to risk assessment/management, it can prove challenging to discern exactly what type of health and safety training your organisation needs. The range of training courses available cover a broad spectrum of health, safety and environmental risk-related issues, allowing delegates of all abilities to gain the practical skills required to recognise common hazards, understand individual responsibility and implement control measures. This not only helps employers and managers to understand how health and safety can affect a business, but it also ensures that every organisation complies with health and safety legislation and HSE guidelines.

In certain cases, it is highly recommended for workplace safety training to be repeated on an annual basis. As a result, SOCOTEC provides a number of health and safety refresher training courses that enable delegates to keep in the loop with all of the latest regulations and industry updates. These are available to all delegates that have successfully completed the original training course.

In-house and online training from recognised awarding bodies

Accredited by nationally recognised awarding bodies such as IOSH, NEBOSH, CIBSE and UKATA, many of the health and safety training courses on offer are also available to complete in an online/e-learning format. Moreover, alongside SOCOTEC’s own training facilities, delegates also have the option of receiving in-house workplace safety training, where courses are delivered on your own premises.

PPE to buy

SOCOTEC’s shop provides users with access to purchasing of training/e-learning courses and PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), including harnesses, lanyards and Latchways Personal Rescue Devices (PRD). This ensures that customers are provided with both the tools and knowledge to remain fully compliant with health and safety legislation in the workplace.

In-house courses

Training at your premises

Training at your premises can be a very cost effective solution to your training needs, saving you travel expenses and giving you a flexible choice of dates and times. You simply need to provide a room that is comfortable for the number of delegates attending and we will provide all training materials, projector and the trainer! 

 

Full training management and administration services

Running training programmes for large organisations with large delegate numbers can be extremely time consuming and difficult. At SOCOTEC we have been doing this for a long time and our training support team can take on this role for you.

Allowing SOCOTEC to effectively “own” the training programme makes for a better solution all round. By having delegate names against required courses allows us to optimise the training programme by ensuring full courses at convenient locations. By having full oversight of the programme we can greatly reduce cost, improve quality and provide a total service solution.
