Health & Safety Assessment in Leicester

The Importance of Leicester Health and Safety Assessments

Warehouses, factories and busy workplaces in Leicester face hazards every day, including heavy lifting, chemicals and constantly moving staff and stock. We help Leicester employers manage those risks with hands-on training and practical on-site safety solutions.

Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, employers must give staff suitable information and training. Providing safety training is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce incidents at work, and it's at the heart of what we do.

Manual Handling Training in Leicester

Lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling and carrying can all lead to injury if they're done badly. The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 require employers to avoid hazardous manual handling where reasonably practicable, assess what can't be avoided and train their staff.

Our manual handling training mixes theory with practical demonstrations and covers:

• how injuries happen and how to avoid them
• the TILE approach: Task, Individual, Load and Environment
• when to use mechanical aids
• safe lifting techniques

Most courses take a few hours, and we can tailor them to your own loads, equipment and layout. If you've been searching for manual handling training near me in Leicester, we can run it at your premises for up to 12 people. We suggest a refresher every two to three years.

CoSHH Training for Teams Working with Chemicals

If your staff handle chemicals or other harmful substances, they need to know how to stay safe. Our CoSHH training teaches them how to identify hazardous substances, read Safety Data Sheets, carry out CoSHH risk assessments, and store and handle chemicals safely. It also covers first aid and incident reporting.

We can run CoSHH courses at your premises at a time that suits you, for groups of up to twelve. Every delegate receives course notes to keep and an attendance certificate when they finish.

Health and Safety for Leicester Warehouses

Manual handling, vehicle movements and high stacking systems all create risks in warehouses. We support warehouse businesses with health and safety audits, training and ongoing competent person support.

Safety Signs Audit and Installation

Too few signs can leave you non-compliant. Too many can cause confusion and waste money. Our safety signs service starts with a site visit, then gives you a layout plan and written report before we supply and install the signs you need. Signs follow a simple colour code:

• Red: prohibition, such as No Smoking
• Blue: mandatory instructions, such as fire door signs
• Yellow: warnings about hazards
• Green: fire safety information, such as escape routes
