Fifty-two health and safety courses, delivered in-company anywhere in the UK, on-site at your premises or as a live virtual session. Practical, employer-focused training run around your working day. KeyOstas has delivered health and safety training since 1984.
In-company health and safety training is training delivered by a KeyOstas tutor at your own premises, for your own staff. Instead of sending people out to scheduled public courses, the course comes to you, run around your working pattern, on your own equipment, using your real tasks and procedures.
Training is not optional. Section 2 of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 requires every employer to provide the information, instruction, training and supervision needed to keep staff safe. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 go further, requiring training when people start work, when risks change, and as a refresher over time. The 52 courses below cover the practical training that meets those duties.
KeyOstas has delivered UK health and safety training since 1984. Every course on this page is available in-company, anywhere in the UK, for groups of your staff, and many can be delivered on-site or as a live virtual session. Courses range from half-day awareness sessions to multi-day assessor and instructor qualifications, and several can be tailored to your site and sector.
Under Section 2 of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, providing health and safety training is a legal duty, not a discretionary extra. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require it on recruitment, on exposure to new or increased risks, and periodically as a refresher.
Every course is delivered in-company, UK-wide. Many are also available as a live virtual session. Search by name or topic, or browse the ten areas below.

Four reasons UK employers bring KeyOstas training on-site rather than sending staff to public courses.
A KeyOstas tutor delivers at your premises anywhere in the UK, and many courses can run as a live virtual session instead. Either way your whole team trains together, with minimal disruption to the working day.
In-company courses are quoted per course, not per person. The more people you train together, the lower the cost per head, usually well below the price of sending staff on public courses.
Courses can use your own equipment, procedures, forms and real tasks, so the training reflects the hazards your people actually face, not generic examples or e-learning.

Every course on this page is available in-company, anywhere in the UK, delivered on-site and in many cases as a live virtual session.
For groups it usually is. In-company courses are quoted per course rather than per person, so the more people you train together the lower the cost per head. There is also no travel cost or time lost sending staff off-site. Tell us the course and the group size and we will quote it.
