Non-Driving Courses

First Aid

It's most people's worst nightmare. You're the first person on the scene of a crash, a colleague collapses at work, a loved one has an accident at home. How would you cope? Would you know what to do?

Our first aid courses are taught by fully qualified staff, many of whom have paramedic qualifications.

Courses range from half-day refreshers up to four day 'First Aid at Work' certificates and can be tailored to suit your company's individual needs - please contact us for details.

Safe Use of Abrasive Wheels

The abrasive wheel is a versatile tool, however, if used incorrectly or carelessly it can cause serious injury or death. Carrying out proper risk assessment and observing the correct safety procedures will reduce the likelihood of this happening. This training course is designed to meet the requirements for training in line with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment regulations 1998 (PUWER 1998) for safety in the use of abrasive wheels and has been designed for all people who need to be aware of the dangers involved in their mounting, handling and use.

Personal Safety

Most company vehicle drivers drive alone and as such are vulnerable to attack. It may be a road rage incident with another motorist or a planned assault to get at the vehicle or it's contents. In either case the driver is in danger. It is not generally realised that men are more at risk than women from attack.

We can offer advice on how to keep out of trouble with either a short talk of about 20 minutes or a longer course if required.

Signaler Course

The Acuitive Training certificate for the Signaler does not include any authority for the Signaler to become involved in the direction of vehicles on the public highway. Any Signaler asked or required to assist in this area must act with great care and avoid unnecessary obstructions to other road users.

Practical training and assessment will be undertaken on the customer’s premises. Natural hazards will probably arise, and may be created by simulation (rope for overhead power lines, boxes/crates to limit vision, etc.) provided care is taken, candidates waiting their turn for practice/testing may be used as 'stooges' and should be encouraged to take part in 'problem solving' exercises.

Manual Handling

Manual handling accidents account for more than a third of all accidents reported each year. While rarely fatal accidents resulting in a major injury are more common, accounting for almost 11% of the total number of reported manual accidents in recent years. Most of these accidents result in an injury lasting over three days, most commonly a sprain or strain, often of the back. This course is designed to minimise the risk of injury when lifting even light objects.
