Newport Norse wanted to improve the safety awareness culture in the organisation by developing knowledge and understanding across all managers and key stakeholders.
Its SHEQ and Support Services Manager, Jakes Jones, identified that the training could only take place in a short time frame and that their budget considerations were key challenges preventing them from getting training.
He wanted the team to train with a reputable and well-known provider, so they got the right training for the best value for money.
The management team consisted of:
To fulfil the spectrum of health and safety needs across these roles, we recommended the IOSH Managing Safely Course.
It’s an internationally recognised qualification from Chartered body, IOSH, which represents health and safety best practise. It could be delivered in just three days and led by an industry expert.
“I found that IOSH courses often lasted over four days and were quite costly, but the training TSW delivered was only over three days and at a better price than other businesses we'd looked at. And, TSW has been operating for a long time and has a good reputation - I’d highly recommend them for ease of use, efficiency, and quality of training and support.”
