Health and Safety Training

I can formally confirm that Award Health & Safety are one of Keir's preferred deliverers of Asbestos Awareness training within the Keir Southern Region. I have used them on three projects and found them to be very prompt, diligent and great at delivering what is a mandatory requirement to any person being set to work under all Health and Safety guidance.

Chris at Award Health & Safety has also been a particular source of reliable knowledge on the changing world of asbestos regulations. Award have also delivered the asbestos awareness message at less formal events for Keir such as our Spring Reception and SHE seminars to a wider audience of professionals and senior managers. I have no hesitation in recommending them for any work within this vein.

The Dorset Construction Training Forum which has 58 Dorset based construction companies as members have been working with Award H&S for four years. During this time Chris and his team have delivered asbestos awareness training and scaffold safety training courses to our members. Award are an extremely helpful and knowledgable organisation, I value their updates on the latest H&S issues that our members have to consider and their flexible approach to our demanding training needs.

I would just like to say a huge thank you for the work your company have provided for us with the health and safety course. Chris was an incredible teacher and was able to present the course to everyone’s abilities.

We will be in contact regarding other courses as the service you have provided is outstanding.

We always receive an excellent service from Award. They are always on call for any health and safety questions or issues we have during the working week. I find the monthly newsletter very useful to keep me up to date on any industry legislation changes.

Award run a wide range of essential health and safety courses which along with the site visits they carries out keeps us in good order to retain our CHAS and Construction Line membership.

Award Heath & Safety provide an excellent all round service for our external health & safety consultancy requirements. Chris Ward is a natural when it comes to the training aspects of health & safety and in our opinion, he excels in his people skills and the way he communicates his vast knowledge of health & safety in the construction industry to our company operatives. It’s a joy working with Award Heath & Safety and we look forward to continuing our working relationship with them.

Two years ago we first heard of Award H&S when we were looking for a local company to provide training for us, as our current H&S consultants worked out as non cost effective solution.

Chris came along and carried out the training for us and the amount of positive feedback I received from operatives and management was unbelievable. They liked Chris’s teaching manner in the way he made things simple and put things into basic English that everyone understood.

Our relationship has now got stronger and stronger and we now consider Award as an extension of our own company, and long may it continue!

We used Award for some essential site staff training in Manual Handling and Working at Heights and were extremely pleased with what was delivered. The training was engaging and fun and staff gave it great feedback. The fact the training was in house kept costs and travelling times right down. I will use Award for all the training I possibly can from now on!

We have found the whole team at Award Health & Safety an invaluable asset to the implementation of of our health and safety culture.

From good down to earth, practical training, site visits to make sure the regulations are being implemented and assistance in COSHH and our Health and Safety Policy we have found the services of Chris and the team a key factor in developing our company health and safety ethos.

A huge thank you to Chris for the great job he did on the abrasive wheels course on Thursday! I was really impressed with the amount of detail he covered in such a short space of time and he really made it interesting. I was pleased that he covered details regarding the law and the HSE which is important for everyone in the company to know. The practical application at the end was excellent as he really tested everyone on their knowledge. It’s always important to ensure people not just listen to the details but actually understand why they are doing things a certain way so that part of the course was so crucial.

Chris also asked me to try my hand at the practical application which was extremely useful, if a little nerve wracking! It gave me a much better understanding of the importance of how the machines work and how best to keep everyone safe.
