I've known Rob for many years, having previously worked alongside him and was already aware of his considerable strengths in the training and coaching field. He was therefore the obvious choice when it came to selecting a provider to roll out a 1 day "IOSH Working Safely for Mineral Products" to our workforce.
Whilst the syllabus is clearly defined by IOSH, Rob designed the course in a bespoke fashion, dispensing with Powerpoints in favour of pictorial material.
In addition to the hardware, Safety Coaching dealt sensitively with the wide range of abilities, and was able to get the best out of everyone by focussing on their key practical areas of knowledge, ie working in quarries
The outcome was a major success with excellent engagement and participation, and a 100{ca8dd5917f9158bdc81bebfabc599698f89b957fd147316bf900215e6263103d} pass rate
I approached Safety Coaching when we were looking to raise the bar for our mobile plant operators. They helped us create structure and detail to our new mobile plant training initiative. This has revolutionised our mobile plant assessment process that has increased the standards of our operators, increased productivity, reduced costs and minimised duplication.
Following on from our success with the mobile plant initiative I contacted Safety Coaching about a second project. For this project I gave them a brief overview of the concept which was to extract all the knowledge content from our competence qualifications and build electronic learning materials.
Safety Coaching have enabled Tarmac's learners to receive the underpinning knowledge required to meet the criteria of the qualification via distance learning. The work they produced was truly exceptional and was exactly what was outlined in the project brief. This has reduced the time taken to deliver the qualification which has in turn increased our productivity. I highly recommend Safety Coaching for future projects within their area of expertise.
Some of the areas that Safety Coaching have helped us address are: Review, amend and map our assessment criteria to the National occupational standards; Write our scheme directives; Review our electronic health and safety questions / answers; Create a frequently asked questions document; Prepare our presentation for the HSE.
We have been really impressed with how Safety Coaching have created bespoke training packages that are entertaining and engaging with what can be very dry topics. They have presented courses to over 95% of our employees through several different topics, and the feedback on all occasions has been that the courses have been excellently presented with great interaction.
Safety Coaching's style is a world away from 'death by PowerPoint' and is enhanced by the quality of their trainers, who promote a more engaging, inclusive, interactive, and thought-provoking training style whilst adapting successfully to all levels of learners.
In the future, we plan to continue working with Safety Coaching on behavioural safety to help us achieve an improved safety culture here at Smith & Sons (Bletchington)
Successfully growing and developing a business is exciting for everybody involved, but it always brings with it a change in risks and in our case this was particularly evident in health and safety. Having Rob and Simon from Safety Coaching on the team was a great way to bring experience, creativity and increased momentum to the project.
Safety Coaching have a very healthy balance of honesty, straightforwardness and integrity. This meant that, amongst my team, pressure was felt, work was done and then change started to happen. But at the same time my team had figured out the personal role they each needed to play and so remained focused and motivated.
Safety Coaching developed a comprehensive program for improving construction safety in large construction projects, where we typically employ up to 3,000 workers. Participants from all over the world (Switzerland, India, Brazil, Russia, US, Ecuador, Indonesia) are implementing the practical, hands on concepts to improve our construction safety track record.
Safety Coaching have also a wide range of personal competencies that make them very much appreciated everywhere they go. I would definitely recommend Safety Coaching to those seeking a professional, passionate and engaging safety coach.
‘Brilliant course and 100{ca8dd5917f9158bdc81bebfabc599698f89b957fd147316bf900215e6263103d} practical. Great having someone who knows the industry so well delivering these courses’

“I’ve used Safety Coaching now a number of times for training from first starting my career in quarrying learning the fundamentals to where I’am now achieving my SHE NVQ L6. Their industry HSE knowledge is fantastic, second to none and their courses are really well put together, interactive and engaging. The team industry knowledge and experience is very impressive and they are a pleasure to work with. They go above and beyond to support you as a candidate giving you the highest quality of training and knowledge to be competent and pass your qualification. I look forward to working with Rob, Phil and the team again in the near future”

The approach Safety Coaching have taken with Burlington Stone is to design high quality training around the needs of the business and recognised national standards. Most importantly this has been delivered in a way tailored to the needs of the individual, resulting in high levels of employee engagement which has helped improve standards and drive our performance.
It is great when there are high levels of engagement in the training provided by a business, even better when the training is universally enjoyed by those attending and actively requested by those yet to attend.
