Education and Training Awards 2021

Best Consultancy & Training Company Safety & Management Solutions Ltd (SAMS) has been a leading Health & Safety Consultancy firm since 1999, with a focus on the construction industry. Its client base includes the construction, agriculture, manufacturing, events, education, transport and service industries. SAMS delivers a wide range of classroom and Zoom-based remote training courses, including NEBOSH, IOSH, CITB and Qualsafe training, along with a wide range of quality e-Learning courses, including the flagship UKATA Asbestos Awareness course. The organisation can deliver training at a venue of its clients choosing as well as at its own bespoke training centre and, as an international remote specialist, it also offers the majority of its in-class courses remotely, meaning that participants are able to study and take exams from their preferred learning environment. “At SAMS, we believe that good safety is something that enhances your business,” explains Sales and Marketing Consultant, Harriett Pendergast. “As such, we’ll work closely with your company to gain a full understanding of how you operate - helping us to develop an appropriate safety system which best matches your working process and will grow as your business develops.” Over the years, SAMS has collated a team of qualified health and safety experts, with a focus on engaging and high-quality training. As it continues to grow and develop, all of the staff are readily committed to conveying high-quality health and safety training, assessments, and inspections. “Being able to make people aware of dangers and preventing potential life-changing accidents is our ultimate goal, and we aim to spread this awareness as far as possible.” Differentiating from competitors, especially in the current turbulent climates of post-Covid-19 lockdowns, is of utmost importance Harriett and the team firmly believes that making students as comfortable and engaged as possible is the key. “It allows them to soak up information without the potential for feeling overloaded or bored,” she says. “As a result, we make our courses as enjoyable as possible, and include plenty of breaks. “Furthermore, as we understand people learn at difference rates and take in knowledge differently, we also provide one-to-one tuition. There’s a reason why we have a 98% pass rate across both our remote and classroom courses!” As well as investing in a brand-new video course content for UKATA Asbestos Awareness, SAMS has also recently overhauled its NEBOSH courses in order to uphold its prestigious NEBOSH Gold Learning Partnership – ensuring that students will continue to receive the highest standard of NEBOSH training anywhere in the country. It is not, however, all down to course content and Harriett is quick to sing the praises of the dedicated trainers, all of which are put on a training matrix and have to receive a high mark themselves on all of the courses they will be required to teach. “We are always striving to improve and our trainers constantly adapt their way of teaching based on their customer feedback and marks.” Regarding the future, SAMS is currently in an exciting stage of growth thanks to its national expansion and is now offering more and more remote learning courses. It is also making major improvements to its website and has a renewed focus on increasing its social media presence, as well as offering targeted video content. “We have recently created a brand-new studio for video content, with the goal of better communicating and demonstrating the significance of health and safety and connecting with customers and clients on a more personal and direct level.” Contact: Harriett Pendergast Company: Safety & Management Solutions Limited Web Address: www.samsltd.co.uk Apr21524 Based in Manston, Kent, Safety & Management Solutions Ltd has rapidly become one of the UK’s leading health and safety training & consultancy companies.
