Construction Health & Safety

With over 12 years experience in Construction Industry training, Helmsman Safety Services is one of the leaders in the field.

One-Stop-Shop

At Helmsman Safety Services, we are aware that the Construction sector has taken a battering and is under pressure financially and so every business has to ensure that it is getting a good return from its training budget.

We offer value-for-money, professional training on a range of subjects which can be tailored for your own situation.

We have become a One-Stop-Shop for our Clients so that, even if we cannot deliver the training for them, because of our experience and knowledge within the industry, we always ‘know a man that does’!

Quality

Most of the courses are run by our own employees or Associates but for some of the more specialised subjects, we have arrangements with partner providers who deliver the subjects for us.  Whether it is our own employees, or partners, we have a procedure under our ISO9001 Accreditation that means that anyone who comes under our banner, is quality checked and evaluated to ensure that the standards to which we aspire, are being met.

We don’t often receive complaints but if we do, we have a procedure that means that we investigate it as independently as possible, seeing it from the complainant’s point-of-view and we will resolve the situation quickly - even if it means losing a trainer, or it costing us money.  We believe that by sorting out a problem quickly and to everyone’s satisfaction, is the way to retain Clients.

Advising on Training

Some of our Clients are not totally aware of what they should be doing, or more particularly, how they can save money on training.  Because we have been helping the Construction sector for so many years, we do know ways that training budgets can be maximised and we would be happy to discuss your training plans at any time with a view to seeing how we can assist you in making the most of your resources.

Grants

We are sometimes amazed (although we shouldn’t be) that organisations do not claim the Grants that are available to them.  As we have had ten years of experience in maximising Grant claims within the construction industry.  We will rdeal with allaspects of Grant claims from CITB/ConstructioSkills, including preparing a Training Plan and dealing with all documentation.

Outsourcing

As well as organising all, or any, training for you, we also offer a service via Helmsman Services where, for the larger organisations, we can actually manage the administration of the whole function for you -and often at far lesser cost than employing a Training Manager or Department.
