Why not consider using an ‘out of house’ Health and Safety Training Managed Service?
Since it’s not always a good use of their resources, most companies do not have the necessary in-house capability to fully manage Health and Safety training. Yet the consequences (i.e. HSE criminal prosecutions and civil claims by individuals) , as a result of major accidents and incidents due to a failure to provide adequate training, are potentially high and costly.

The following provides examples of companies who would benefit from Paradigm’s Health and Safety Training Managed Service ©
Case study 1 - Large Petrochemical Plant

- Lack of a coordinated training plan.
- Unclear what training to provide to whom, why and when.
- Very little interface with the current training providers.

Case study 2 - Small Manufacturing Business
- Do not provide any quote “Elf and Safety” training - cannot see the point.

- Comparatively high number of ‘minor’ accidents and incidents.
- Currently dealing with steady trickle of compensation claims.
Main issues – Company out of compliance and at risk of a potential for HSE criminal prosecutions and further civil claims - Higher than normal insurance premiums - Unhealthy culture and mindset.
Utilising Paradigm’s Health and Safety Training Managed Service © wouldn’t cost this organisation as much as their current outlay for compensation claims and will help them become compliant.
Case study 3 – Medium Size Fabrication Company wishing to secure contracts in the offshore wind farm sector
- A reasonable amount spent on training.
- Want to demonstrate compliance as part of the agenda to secure new and bigger contracts.
- Not impressed with the quality of the current training provider.
- Training hasn’t provided transferable knowledge or a positive change in people’s behaviour in the work place.
Main issues - Leadership accepting of the tick box compliance mentality - Poor quality training provider - Not realising the value for their money.
Utilising Paradigm’s Health and Safety Training Managed Service © would be a net cost for this company. The real benefit and value however would be the focus on competency and workplace behaviour at all levels.
When an organisation’s culture is healthy, the activities of employees at every level contribute to a platform on which safety and other critical business performance can be built.
