After discussions with the HSE we are now ready to offer training courses in all aspects of safe workshop practice. These courses are on site and are certified.
We know that time is of the essence and therefor do group traing. We concentrate on the items in your workshop.
Our traing is on hands and not classroom based. We interact with your employees and let them use the equipment. While they do this we explain what they are doing wrong and the reasons why.
Depending on the amount of courses you enter into course times vary from 1 to 8 hours.
We do safety training the practical way, we don't teach people anything they already know and don't do. We teach them to respect the tools they work with and realize the dangers by using them.
Our aim with these courses is not to "talk Health and Safety " but to make sure everyone work as safe as possible.
Your staff will be certified to use the equipment in your workshop. Should they leave your employment the certificate may not be accepted by their new employer because they may use different equipment.
Please contact us for more information.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has warned the motor vehicle repair trade of the need to have its vehicle lifts and ramps regularly and thoroughly examined by a competent person after a Peterborough worker was almost crushed under a vehicle ramp.
The warning follows last week’s prosecution of Boroughbury Garage Ltd, trading as Cooks Van Centre, a car dealership based in Storeys Bar Road, Peterborough after their employee, Mr Aldo Harkin, escaped a crush incident with seconds to spare.
Mr Harkin, a 56-year-old vehicle technician from Whittlesey, near Peterborough, had been working underneath a van on 7 July 2004 when its ramp collapsed. He suffered cuts and abrasions to his head, ear and shoulder, and bad bruising to his ribs and stomach. The incident could have been more serious as two colleagues were under the ramp with Mr Harkin minutes earlier.
