MANCHESTER METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY

Ensuring appropriate training in health and safety

Manchester Metropolitan University is a modern and diverse university, with a focus on inclusivity for all. The 600-strong Estates, Facilities and Capital Development Directorate (EFCD) employs staff in a range of technical roles and there is a need to have them appropriately trained in health and safety. Read the interview with Marcelle Blinston, the Quality and Compliance Officer for EFCD on the challenges they've faced and how RRC helped them overcome them.

What benefits have your teams received from health and safety training?

MB: Manchester Metropolitan University is committed to achieving high standards of health and safety. Training our staff ensures the ongoing effective management of health and safety risks. The NEBOSH and IOSH courses offered by RRC provide our staff with a good understanding around health and safety at work. The courses ensure staff have a good appreciation of the legal requirements around health and safety, as well as giving them practical skills to effectively manage risks.

Have you noticed improvements within the directorate after training has taken place?

MB: Absolutely! As a result of completing the IOSH Managing Safely® course, our Facilities Duty Managers have been able to lead by example and cascade what they have learnt down to their teams. This has helped ensure there is a good understanding of health and safety at all levels within the organisation.

What has been the most popular course and why?

MB: RRC have delivered three sessions of IOSH Managing Safely® here at Manchester Metropolitan University. Feedback has been extremely positive, with all delegates achieving a 100% pass rate. We would definitely consider RRC for delivering future IOSH Working Safely sessions. 

Why did you choose RRC?

MB: RRC offer very competitive rates and their courses are flexible, for example, you can book block courses or spread them out to one day a week over several weeks. Most importantly, the RRC trainers delivering the IOSH courses are first class. 

How have RRC helped with the process of providing HSE training?

MB: RRC offers a wide range of health, safety and environmental courses to suit all levels and abilities which has enabled us to effectively train staff from all levels across estates and facilities. Booking courses with RRC couldn’t be simpler and we will definitely be considering them for future training requirements.

The course material provided were really informative not just for the course but to also use in my daily work. The main difference for me was the tutor... I would not hesitate recommending them.

The course was very useful and I have learned a lot from the excellent tutor Mr. Hassan, who kept us very interested, and I was impressed by the whole experience of making the learning process an enjoyable one.

The course was very fluent, easy going, and although there was lots of information to review, the tutor did a very good job in keeping us interested and explained everything. Great content and materials.

After failing my first attempt... I attended your revision course, I have to say the tips you gave me were invaluable, I completely changed my approach from the first exam.
