Description
Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) is a systematic, preventive approach to food safety. In order for a HACCP system to work effectively, it is essential that all staff are aware not only of the safety procedures, controls and monitoring that must be followed but also why they are necessary. Staff may be involved with all, or part, of the process within a food business. Whichever aspect of the process they are responsible for, be it checking deliveries, product preparation, monitoring critical control points or coordinating the dispatch procedure, all staff need to be aware of the importance of their work activities in relation to the food safety of the final product. Once employees are aware of the importance of their contributions to the HACCP system, they will feel more involved with the business and this in turn will improve productivity.

All our trainers are approved by either NPTC (National Proficiency Test Council) or LANTRA (Sector Skills Council for Environmental and Land Based Sector). They also have considerable practical experience in all aspects of arboriculture and in many cases, still work in the industry and as such, keep up to date with current standards and practice. Chainsaw training is carried out in small groups so that you can receive plenty of individual attention from the trainer, which is supplemented by excellent course materials and advice. Training can be arranged on open courses or exclusively for your company or organisation.

Description
The Work at Height Regulations 2005 came into effect on 6 April 2005. The regulations apply to all work at height where there is a risk of a fall liable to cause personal injury. They place duties on employers, the self-employed, and any person that controls the work of others (for example facilities managers or building owners who may contract others to work at height). As part of the regulations, duty holders must ensure, all work at height is properly planned and organised. Those involved in work at height are competent, the risks from work at height are assessed and appropriate work equipment is selected and used, the risks from fragile surfaces are properly controlled, equipment for work at height is properly inspected and maintained.
