-> Health & Safety
Roxby Training offers an extensive list of health and safety
courses covering all legislative training as well as training
in specific disciplines applicable to individual work areas.
We can also tailor-make courses and we offer nationally accredited
certification where possible.
This certification
is nationally recognised and delivery and assessment is to a
high standard in order to achieve the required
levels.
The more popular aspects of health and safety training are
the instructor assessor courses which offer significant benefits
to our customers. Allowing one person from your organisation
to be trained and assessed means they can then, in turn, do
this for other employees so reducing costs and downtime for
the
company.
