ARE YOU FOLLOWING THE LAW AND APPROVED

Well, are you? It’s an important question for any business owner or director. There are approved codes of practice – ACOPs – covering many areas of business operation.

Although ACOPs are not the law, everything in an Approved Code of Practice has special legal status. If an incident happens and your business has not been following recognised best practice, then the courts are far more likely to find against you.

At First Class Safety we specialise in helping businesses comply with their legal obligations and make sure they are following best practice in every area – from shop floor to office and from practical safety to paperwork.

On this site you can find out more about us and the services we offer – both on your premises and at our dedicated FCS Training Academy near Junction 1 of the M6.

Our new versatile and comfortable FCS Training Academy conference and training rooms are now available for hire in Rugby.

First Class Safety was an easy choice for JRP when choosing to book our H&S courses. The courses were very local for us, and were run by experienced tutors who were able to get the course content across with interesting facts and knowledge. The new premises are impressive, with plenty of room. I have studied for the NEBOSH General Certificate recently at First Class Safety and we have also put employees through First Aid courses here

David Taylor For and on behalf of JRP Electrical Services Ltd

Many thanks to the friendly team at First Class Safety for the training they gave me for the NEBOSH National General Certificate. Safety can be a mundane topic to study. However, the First Class Safety team made it interactive and enjoyable, with many personal case studies & anecdotes from a former HSE Inspector to liven it up and make it easier to learn, remember and, most importantly, apply. Safety knowledge is only beneficial when it is applied to help keep people safe from harm. First Class Safety offer a wide range of practical safety services. I look forward to using their services again in the near future. My practical safety services provider of choice.
