'In-House' Training

​

For those times when nationally accredited training is not necessary, a cost effective way to up-skill  can be through the in house route. With rewarding results this route is an excellent way for the organisation and its personnel to learn a new or continue to expand an existing skill. As one of the most popular routes we offer, there are training interventions available in many subjects and to fit all types of needs and organisational requirements. If you’re interested in learning more about this route and our In-house courses browse our course portfolio or contact us directly and we’d be happy to help.

​

All our in-house courses are designed to meet current standards and requirements and are tailored to your organisational needs. Delegates attaining the pre-set standard (Set before the training intervention with the client) will receive a Graham Howard Consulting certificate of achievement.

​

If bespoke training is what you are looking for, our curriculum design team can tailor training courses to your own specifications. Please contact us for more details.

Our approach

Asbestos Awareness

Asbestos-roof-sheets-square-1.jpg

Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health 2002 (COSHH) regulations, employers have a legal duty to provide adequate control of employees’ exposure to harmful substances in the workplace.

​

Asbestos is a highly hazardous substance which causes serious ill-health to anyone who disturbs it. It is because of the highly dangerous nature of asbestos that anyone who is likely to disturb or come into contact with asbestos in their work must have an awareness of the correct health and safety procedures to follow.

Angle grinders are versatile hand-held tools commonly used in the manufacturing industry, in particular the metal fabrication sector. Their ability to perform a variety of tasks is due to the different accessories that can be attached to them. The type of attachment placed on an angle grinder depends on the task being performed and the materials being used. The most common uses for angle grinders include grinding (with abrasive discs) and cutting (with cut-off discs) – however attachments will vary depending on whether the operator is working with metal, stone, tiles or other materials.
