In-person training

Excellent Trustpilot

Practical, face‑to‑face health & safety training for UK SMEs

Good Health & Safety training shouldn’t feel like a tick‑box exercise. It should help people understand their responsibilities, recognise risks and feel confident about doing the right thing at work.

We provide in‑person health & safety training delivered by experienced consultants who work with UK SMEs every day. Training is practical, relevant and tailored to your workplace — not generic or overly technical.

Whether you’re training new starters, upskilling managers or refreshing existing knowledge, our face‑to‑face courses support both compliance and day‑to‑day safe working.

Why choose in‑person training?

For many businesses, face‑to‑face training is the most effective way to embed Health & Safety understanding.

In‑person training allows us to:

Focus on the specific risks within your business

Use real examples from your workplace

Encourage questions and discussion

Adapt the session to suit different experience levels

Make sure people genuinely understand what’s expected of them

It also gives you confidence that training has been delivered properly and that your legal duties as an employer are being met.

Our Health & Safety training courses

We deliver a wide range of onsite health & safety training courses for SMEs across all sectors. Courses can be delivered at your premises or a suitable local venue.

If you have particular risks, concerns or operational challenges, we can also provide bespoke health & safety training designed around your business.

Training designed around your business

We understand the pressures SME owners face and the practical challenges of taking people away from their roles. Our training is designed to be:

1. Flexible and proportionate

2. Relevant to how your business actually operates

3. Suitable for small groups or whole teams

4. Clear, straightforward and free from unnecessary jargon

The aim is to improve understanding and behaviour - not just to deliver information.

Delivered by experienced health & safety consultants

All of our in‑person training is delivered by qualified health & safety professionals who also provide ongoing consultancy support to SMEs.

That means your trainer understands the realities of running a small or medium‑sized business, and can apply current UK legislation that matters in practice, not just on paper. Training often highlights areas where you could strengthen processes or reduce risk, giving you practical insight beyond the course itself.

Supporting your legal responsibilities

UK employers are required to provide suitable health & safety training under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and related regulations.

Our in‑person training helps you:

1. Meet your legal obligations as an employer

2. Demonstrate due diligence

3. Reduce accidents and incidents

4. Build a safer, more confident workplace

Most importantly, we explain what this means in clear, plain English so you can take action with confidence.

“Two members of staff were very happy with the excellent First Aid training they completed last week. They found it very informative especially with the latest information about defibrillators. Thank you to The Health & Safety Dept.“
Alba, Beverage Company
“When questions arise around health and safety, it’s comforting to know I have an expert on hand to help, I don’t have to go and research for the answer or take a guess, I simply pick up the phone and get the answers from the professionals, as The Health & Safety Dept are always available and always respond rapidly with tailored advice and support.”
