Training

At Safestyle we believe the key to our success is our investment in time and resources in the development of our staff. The heart of this is our training and continued improvement programs.

Every new member of Safestyle staff undergoes a company induction course. This covers the company health and safety policy, quality policy, company code of conduct and basic induction training. This enables our staff to fulfil their roles and to gain an understanding of what is expected of them as a member of the Safestyle team.

Further to the company own requirements we ensure all our staff have access to the industry standard training through recognised accredited courses relevant to the field they operate in. These are often presented by our own qualified and experienced in house training team, who not only have the technical knowledge of the subject but can also offer years of hands on experience from the ground level upwards on each subject taught giving first-hand experience and real life scenarios as well as text book examples.

Courses that are not taught in house are sometimes presented by our training partners, from JHM training ltd and SFM training Ltd. The outsourcing of some courses and the external assessment of candidates by our training providers, especially those who are put on the NVQ route, ensure we as accompany keep relevant and focussed on delivery and standards within the industry.

At Safestyle we tailor our service to the client’s needs, paramount to this is the bespoke training we present to our staff written around the needs of our clients incorporating our clients requirements and expectations.
