Background

After discussions on the topics George Cox wanted to be covered, our Business Development team collaborated with our trainers who specialised in those fields to develop an itinerary to meet George Cox’s training needs and effectively engage their employees.

With a commitment to ensuring the well-being of their workforce and maintaining high safety standards, George Cox required a partner who could deliver tailored training sessions while covering a range of health and safety topics.

Needs Assessment and Agenda Development

3B Training worked closely with George Cox’s Health & Safety Manager, Martin Phillips, to assess their training needs and identify key areas of focus.

Based on the assessment, 3B Training developed a customised agenda that covered essential safety topics relevant to George Cox’s operations.

Expert-Led Training Sessions

During the two days, 3B Training welcomed 75 delegates from George Cox to participate in the safety days.

Experienced trainers from 3B Training conducted interactive sessions on various topics, including:

  • Cable Avoidance and Safe Digging Practices
  • Confined Space
  • General Health and Safety with Dust and Asbestos
  • Temporary Works Awareness
  • Mental Health

Engagement and Collaboration

Throughout the safety days, emphasis was placed on fostering engagement and collaboration among delegates. Interactive elements such as group discussions, case studies, and practical demonstrations were also incorporated to enhance learning and retention.

Delegates had the opportunity to interact directly with trainers, ask questions, and share experiences, creating a dynamic learning environment.
