SURETEAM

Emergency First Aid at Work

Eileen — Thu, 17 May 2012 12:08:17 +0000

In my role as Admin. Manager here at Sureteam I see lots of evaluation forms. The particular question that always elicits a strong response is not regarding the course, nor the trainer, nor the exam. No, more often than not the question that gets a comment is ‘Please rate the venue’ and so like Goldilocks it’s never just right – it’s too hot, too cold, too large, too crowded and if there’s food on offer that’s a whole new set of responses. We do like our creature comforts don’t we?

But I just wanted to share with you a bit of feedback about our first aid trainer. One candidate not being satisfied with awarding ‘Excellents’ all round, also added “Penny is fab!” – can’t argue with that really, can you.

So if you’ve ever been on a First Aid course that’s left you feeling you need medical attention for boredom come and see what we offer. CIEH Level 2 Emergency First Aid at Work courses can be held at your premises or are run in Tetbury on the last Wednesday of every month.

Have a safe day.

What we always tell clients about PAT, be safe

Thought this was worth letting people know about hse we let our clients know and some choose to doit as it is just easier for them, but our larger clients think twice.

Be safe

Today I saw a crocodile …

Today I saw a crocodile.

A bright, shiny, fluorescent crocodile …

… of children from the Primary School, wending its way through the streets of Tetbury.

All kitted out in their hi-visibility jackets – being seen, being safe.

Health and Safety solutions aren’t complicated, they can be as easy as ABC – ask a child next time you see one.

Have a safe day.

CIEH Premium Registered Centre

Eileen — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 13:06:23 +0000

If candidates contact me in the office following their exam there are only two questions they ask – ‘Have I passed?’ and ‘When will I receive my Certificate?’. Well, good news! Sureteam have now been invited to become a Premium Registered Centre by the CIEH (you may have noticed the new gold logo on our emails).

Not only does this strengthen our long-standing relationship with the CIEH so we can continue to deliver first class training to you – but we get your results in seven days too. So no more worrying and waiting – work hard, pass the exam and that Certificate will be on your office wall before you know it.

Have a safe day,

Eileen

Why Sureteam?

At a business meeting the other day, a few people asked the point around why use Sureteam rather than other providers out there. Well, we could give you all the normal reasons such as good service and finding ways to develop a solution (let you do what you want to safely) but these are what we expect. So, why Sureteam. Why not listen to what BAE Mission have to say? One of our major clients tells us why they stay with Sureteam.

Be Safe

It’s more than keeping your back straight!

I like to be practical when I’m working with clients whether I am training them or finding solutions to everyday problems, so it was a natural progression for me to extend my own CIEH training recently to include the practical side of Manual Handling training. I now train the whole programme for the CIEH – accredited Level 2 Principles and Practice of Manual Handling, taking candidates through the theory and than putting that knowledge into practice in their workplace settings.
I teach practical skills to keep people as safe as possible – and it’s not just about keeping your back straight!

Fellowship, a great place to be

peter — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 15:47:01 +0000

Fellowship achieved with lots of hard but enjoyable work – finally I have been accepted as a Fellow of the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM) and also accepted onto the Occupational Safety and Health Consultants Register (OSHCR). So again we at Sureteam can show our professional development within the field of Health and safety. Clients can be assured that we will be able to support them with the right answers and practical solutions for the jobs that they do. Be safe.

Hard work but have passed the Diploma in Industrial Accident Investigation

peter — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:34:54 +0000

Well after some long hours studying many subjects around the industrial accident investigation process, I finally sat my exams in November of 2011 and have now passed the finals to achieve this certification. What does that mean for you as clients? Well we can help you understand more the process of good accident investigations, as well as helping you move towards better programmes in behavioural safety, which is going to be paramount in keeping your people safe at work. So we are looking at how we can apply what has been learnt and assist clients more in these areas. Also whilst on the course we had our minds stretched – sounds painful but we had the opportunity to attend the Institute of Industrial Accident Investigators fellowship lectures where talks were given on many elements of this subject and one in particular which will make all Health and Safety professionals sit up and think about causation. Be safe.

We’ve had our hard hats on …

sureteam — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 20:34:21 +0000

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been working on an upgrade to our website. We want to make it easier for people to find out about us and what we have to offer. At the same time, we want to ensure that you can quickly find information relevant to your industry.

During April, we’ll be sharing case studies, tips and advice, details of courses and more, with a view to making it easier for you to be sure you’ve got your health and safety covered.

In the meantime, here’s our MD Peter Hodgson with some thoughts on what health and safety really means to businesses.

Good common sense approach

peter — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 09:47:16 +0000

At last we can breathe a sigh of relief with the HSE again talking sense regards H&S, with the Royal Wedding wanting to be celebrated by many people we can see they are offering some common sense approaches as to HOW. Follow the link to these if you are running one as they make good sense and are easy to do. As I always say, do anything you like just do it safely, be safe. Peter.
