Cannot give enough praise to this firm. The staff, in particular - Simon, at the Southampton branch, go above and beyond for those attending courses. My son attended the day course and Simon was on hand at all times offering support and assistance. The other staff who answer the calls are equally as helpful and friendly. Thank you all 🙂

I use HCS Safety for a lot of my operative training and management site training. I have also undertaken various courses here myself including NEBOSH and IOSH. I cannot rate this company high enough, highly professional and brilliant course variety. Even when training throughout a pandemic I felt safe and well looked after throughout! I would highly recommend using HCS Safety Limited for your training needs.

Many thanks Drew. A great tutor in my opinion he made it interesting, engaging and full of stories with regards to health and safety and construction. The way Drew builds your confidence over the 5 days was excellent which I would say helped all of us on my course. You won't find a better professional than Drew. Don't hesitate book your course today you won't be disappointed. Many thanks again.

Dave was a fantastic and engaging trainer, he kept the energy in the room high and effectively presented the information keeping it interesting and enjoyable. This is one of the best training courses I have attended especially considering the content of the course of quite hard going and legally focussed. I really appreciated the effort and enthusiasm Dave put into all elements of the training. I would definitely recommend this course at HCS to others in the industry.

Really enjoyed the course. Made better by two superb and patient tutors in Karen and Drew
Thanks to Olivia too, always there to greet and help following my daily commute from the Isle of Wight. Both Tutors were exceptional but a special word reserved for Karen Fanner. She has a unique style of delivery that commands your attention, no matter how intense and relentless the course material is. Drew also had an incredible level of knowledge about the industry and legislation. Great training company thanks!

NEBOSH Construction
HCS Safety’s NEBOSH Construction Certificate course was extremely well run, the tutors were knowledgeable, helpful and informative and made the course enjoyable for all the delegates. The facilities, visual aids and the course materials were excellent. I have recommended this course and others run by HCS Safety to other colleagues and associates in the industry.

As the owner of a company that employs 10 staff and works with over 300 contractors across various sites, I decided that I wanted to take a hands-on approach to our health and safety. The NEBOSH General course was well worth my time and I feel fully equipped to deal with any issues that arise in my organisation.

My team have come to me absolutely buzzing about the training they received with Sara yesterday. They told me she was brilliant and so knowledgeable. Everyone really enjoyed the training, were fully engaged and even managed to have a few laughs along the way! They told me the equipment used was different to previous courses and was really good (they even took photos to share with me), they also said the course content was spot on for what we do and what we need. Overall they said the day flew by and would love to continue with first aid training with yourselves.

Thanks very much for facilitating such a great session for the team,

I would like to thank Jason for bringing this subject to life for me as it was my first look at scaffolding in earnest. I felt that In received much benefit from the course, learnt a lot and feel confident that I have the foundations in place to approach this topic with some credibility. Considering such a wide ranging audience, the pitch was superb and Jason is an excellent orator and a natural in a teaching environment. Thank you for making the course educational, informative and enjoyable.

Mental Health and Wellbeing Courses

The following are responses to specific questions we asked of delegates after we ran this course for the first time.

The course did meet my expectations and I feel that I now have a better understanding of workplace stress and my responsibilities as an employer.
We had used the 6 HSE Management Standards as the basis of our stress risk assessment carried out last year so we will be completing this again within the next few months using what I learnt on the course.
I found the exercises that you added in very helpful, particularly the primary, secondary and tertiary intervention explanations.
