The one-day courses are designed for all individuals requiring access to operational sites, including supervisors and managers. All SHEA schemes were developed in collaboration with employers and key stakeholders from across the industries in our sector, so the content is relevant – all helping to improve the safety of the workforce and reduce costs associated with injury, illness or accidents.
