Health & Safety Training & Development
Training That Sticks. Delivered by People Who Know What They're Talking About.
Practical, engaging health and safety training - built around your organisation, your people, and the risks they actually face.
What We Do
Training is one of the most important investments an organisation can make in its people - and one of the most frequently done badly. Generic e-learning modules that nobody engages with, classroom sessions that feel disconnected from real working life, and certificates filed away without any genuine learning taking place. Sound familiar?
At Harlequins, we do training differently. Working in partnership with Emblem Training Solutions, we design and deliver health and safety training that is genuinely tailored to your organisation - your sector, your risks, your people, and your brand. Whether that's a bespoke digital learning programme, a face-to-face session on your site, or a blended approach that combines both, we build something that works for you rather than something pulled off a shelf.
Every training solution we develop starts with understanding what your people actually need to know - and how they'll best learn it.
Why it matters
Employers have a legal duty to ensure their staff receive adequate health and safety information, instruction, and training under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. That duty extends to induction training, role-specific training, refresher training, and training following any significant change in role, process, or risk.
But beyond the legal obligation, well-trained staff are safer staff. They understand the risks they face, the controls in place to protect them, and what to do when something goes wrong. Training builds competence, confidence, and a culture where safety is owned by everyone - not just managed from the top down.
Poor training - or no training - leaves organisations exposed to incidents, enforcement action, and the very real human cost of a preventable injury or illness.
Services we provide
We offer a full range of training solutions, delivered face-to-face, digitally, or through a blended model:
Face-to-Face Training: Delivered on your site or at a suitable venue by trainers qualified to Certificate in Education and Training (AET) Level Level 4 - meaning you're not just getting someone who knows the subject, you're getting someone who knows how to teach it effectively. Our face-to-face sessions are practical, interactive, and tailored to your working environment. Current programmes include:
-
First Aid at Work and Emergency First Aid at Work
-
Basic Life Support
-
Fire Warden and Fire Safety Awareness
-
Manual Handling
-
Food Safety Level 2
-
COSHH Awareness

Toolbox Talks — covering a wide range of topic areas, delivered to your teams in their working environment
IOSH Accredited Training: We are working towards delivering IOSH Managing Safely and IOSH Working Safely - recognised qualifications that provide managers and employees with a solid foundation in health and safety practice. These will be available once our accreditation is confirmed - contact us for updates.
Bespoke eLearning & Induction Modules - in partnership with Emblem Training Solutions: For organisations that need scalable, branded digital training, we work with Emblem Training Solutions to develop fully bespoke e-learning modules. These are built around your content, your brand, and your learners - not generic off-the-shelf courses with your logo added.
Bespoke e-learning is particularly effective for induction programmes, compliance training, and topic areas where consistent delivery across multiple sites or shifts is essential.
Off-the-Shelf eLearning - via ...: Where bespoke development isn't required, we can provide access to a comprehensive library of high-quality, ready-made e-learning courses through our partnership with ... - covering the full range of health and safety topics at an accessible price point.
Our approach
We begin by understanding your training needs - what your people need to know, what gaps currently exist, how your workforce learns best, and what practical constraints exist around time, location, and resources.
From there, we design a training solution that fits. If it's face-to-face, we'll visit your site before delivery to ensure the content reflects your actual working environment. If it's digital, we work closely with Emblem Training Solutions to develop content that is genuinely engaging - not a wall of text with a quiz at the end.
We don't deliver training and disappear. We follow up, evaluate impact, and support you in ensuring learning translates into changed behaviour and safer working practice.
