HSMC offer specialist
HSMC offer a range of services 
HSMC offer a range of on-site training courses including DSE, noise, fire, risk assessment and accident managementHealth and Safety Training Services
Training is possibly the most important aspect of a health and safety management system, without it employees may not identify risks or may not understand why precautions are being put in place, often resulting in reduced compliance. HSMC offers off-site health and safety training along with on-site training at client sites all around the country. All courses are presented by experienced professionals who are variously Chartered Members of IOSH (CMIOSH) or members of the Institute of Fire Engineers (TIFireE).
Courses are given below but if a subject you require is not listed here or you are looking for a particular course then please contact us as training is often developed in response to a specific client need.
All our trainers work regularly in their particular field ensuring that they bring a superb depth of knowledge and experience to their courses. For example, our fire trainers (who are members of the Institute of Fire Engineers) regularly conduct fire risk assessments, our noise trainers are routinely involved in workplace hearing tests and noise assessments while our safety rep trainers have themselves been safety reps in the past before specialising in health and safety. Training is not simply a recitation of facts, but an involving exploration of the subject material and with this depth of knowledge and experience HSMC courses provide excellent value for money.
