Showcase

Alistair Bromhead Ltd is an independent health, safety & environmental consultancy. Established by Dr Alistair Bromhead who has over 15 years experience of such issues in the UK and Europe, the company specialises in the provision of high quality training and consultancy services. 

The company developed and is the only training provider able to deliver the 2 day City & Guilds Certificate: Manual Handling Train the Trainer. This qualification is a practical and interactive course to train manual handling instructors. It will provide the technical knowledge, training skills and course material to design, develop and deliver effective manual handling training for inanimate loads (industry, office, construction etc) rather than patients.

Key benefits of this course:

• Nationally recognised certificate for manual handling instructors 
• Caters for a range of experience levels
• Highly experienced instructors 
• Ongoing support provided 
• Includes a unique manual handling trainer training pack
• Manual handling assessor training included in course

The course is suitable for a wide range of individuals:

• Managers and supervisors intending to conduct in-house training
• Consultants and trainers providing services to a range of clients
• Manual handling instructors wanting refresher certification &/or new ideas
• The course is suitable for participants from a wide range of backgrounds. Health and safety management experience as well as training qualifications are useful but are not a pre-requisite as participants will be trained in both the technical and the training related issues

Other training courses offered:

City & Guilds Certificate in Environmental Management: 2 day introduction to environmental best practice and law 

City & Guilds Certificate in Health and Safety: 2 day introduction to H&S law and best practice

Manual handler training: typically 1.5 to 4 hour sessions involving theory and practice

Risk assessment - either general or on specific issues

Consultancy

• Retainer services: to provide ongoing advice through occasional site visits coupled with phone / email discussions. The process typically starts with a site review to identify and prioritise key issues. A plan will be developed to enable the addressing of key issues in a cost effective and practical manner.
• Noise surveys; the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 require that if daily personal noise exposure is likely to be 80dB(A) or above, a noise assessment must be conducted by a competent person. 80 dB(A) very roughly equates to the noise level where conversation is possible with a person 2 meters away, but noise is intrusive. Alistair undertakes noise surveys, with the provison of recommendations regarding the reduction of noise at source, designation of hearing protection zones and specification of suitable hearing protection.
• Risk assessments; conducted on a wide range of issues including manual handling, machinery, hazardous substances and fire
• Site reviews, typically to:
  • Identify relevant legislation and best practice
  • Evaluate the degree to which the site meets these standards
  • Make suggestions for improvement in the form of an action plan
• Resource efficiency, cleaner design and sustainable practice implementation

Research

Alistair has designed, developed and managed a wide range of research project on environmental issues with budgets from a few thousand pounds to £750k. Key areas of interest are:

• Resource efficiency
• Development of benchmarks and best practice advice
• End-of-life issues: reducing whole life costs for products through the consideration of cleaner design, alternative product service systems, remanufacturing and recycling
