Training -> 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.

Our training in this field is predominantly CIEH (Charted Institute of Environmental Health) certified. 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.

We are very pleased to say each and every one of the students has come away extremely satisfied not only with the level of training but also with the level of support and advice offered by Roxby.
