When I started OHSS, the aim was pretty simple: provide health and safety training and consultancy that people actually find useful.

No unnecessary jargon. No reading slides word for word. No making people feel like health and safety is just another box to tick.

I’ve always tried to make training practical, engaging and relevant to the real workplace, while giving businesses clear, straightforward advice they can actually act on.

That is why seeing OHSS reach **180 Google reviews while maintaining a 5.0 rating** means a great deal to me.

Every review represents somebody who has attended one of our courses, worked with us on consultancy, or trusted OHSS to support their business.

For a small family-run business, that feedback is incredibly important. It tells me that the way we work, the way we communicate and the way we look after our clients is making a difference.

So, to everyone who has taken the time to leave a review, recommend OHSS or book with us again, thank you.

And if you haven’t worked with OHSS yet, whether you need health and safety training, IOSH courses, First Aid, Fire Safety, Fire Risk Assessments, Mental Health Training or consultancy support, we’d be happy to help.

Mental Health Training with Real Life Experience

Mental health training should be more than theory.

At OHSS, our Mental Health Training is delivered by a trainer with first hand life experience, bringing a level of honesty, understanding and relatability that can make the subject far more meaningful for learners.

The aim is to give people the confidence to recognise when someone may be struggling, start a conversation, listen properly and offer appropriate support.

Our training covers areas including:

Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health
First Aid for Mental Health
Supervising First Aid for Mental Health
Workplace mental health awareness

This is not about turning managers or employees into counsellors.

It is about helping people understand mental health better, recognise warning signs and feel more confident supporting colleagues when it matters.

Real experience. Practical learning. Better conversations.

180 five-star reviews. Countless conversations. Hundreds of people trained.

When I started OHSS, I wanted to deliver health and safety training that people would actually enjoy and remember.

Looking back over the last six months, the reviews tell me we’re achieving exactly that.

Some of the comments that really stand out include:

⭐ “Great course, made easy by a fantastic tutor.”
⭐ “Amazing training, would highly recommend.”
⭐ “Everything was really well explained.”
⭐ “Brian made the IOSH training genuinely enjoyable.”
⭐ “Plenty of stories and anecdotes to keep things interesting and informative.”
⭐ “Fantastic delivery, clear and concise presentation.”
⭐ “Engaging trainer.”
⭐ “Would happily attend another course.”

These aren’t just nice comments. They tell me that people are leaving with knowledge they can actually use back in the workplace, and that’s always been the goal.

Today, OHSS has now reached 180 Google reviews with an overall 5.0-star rating, something I’m incredibly proud of. Every review represents someone who trusted me or OHSS with their training, and I never take that for granted.

To every individual learner, company, organisation and returning client who has supported OHSS over the years – thank you. Your recommendations, repeat bookings and feedback are what allow a small family-run business to continue doing what it loves.

Here’s to helping even more people stay safe, stay compliant and, hopefully, proving that health and safety training doesn’t have to be boring.

Thank you for your continued support.

As another training year comes to a close before the summer break, I’ve been reflecting on what has been a busy and rewarding year.

For me, the working year runs from September through to July. Over the years, experience has taught me that training tends to slow during the summer months as businesses, managers and employees take well-earned holidays. Rather than fight against it, I’ve learned to embrace it, recharge and come back ready for another busy year.

Since September 2025, I’ve had the privilege of training hundreds of people across a wide range of health and safety subjects. From IOSH courses and First Aid to Fire Safety, Risk Assessment, Mental Health and many others, every course has been an opportunity to meet great people, share knowledge and hopefully make workplaces that little bit safer.

A huge thank you to every individual and organisation that has chosen OHSS. Whether you’ve used us once or continue to come back year after year, your support genuinely means a great deal. Being self-employed isn’t always easy. There are no guarantees, and there are days when you question yourself more than you’d like to admit.

This year has brought its own challenges. I’ve spent much of it working through constant pain with a torn meniscus while waiting for surgery. There have been days where I’ve struggled physically and mentally, but I’ve kept going because that’s what running your own business often means. You turn up, you deliver your best and you keep moving forward.

Now it’s time for something I’ve been looking forward to for months. Six weeks in Spain with my family. Sun, cold beer, good food, time to relax and hopefully give my knee a bit of a rest before the next chapter begins.

None of this would be possible without Lisa Claydon and our kids.
Their support, patience and encouragement mean everything, especially during the tougher times.

Thank you again to everyone who has supported OHSS this year. Have a fantastic summer, stay safe, and I’ll see many of you again soon.

September is already looking busy, with bookings already confirmed and the diary filling up nicely. I’m looking forward to getting back to doing what I enjoy most: helping people go home safe at the end of every working day.

See you all in September.

Every Fire Risk Assessment tells a story.

Behind ceilings, inside service risers, above suspended ceilings and within plant rooms, we regularly uncover breaches in compartmentation, unsealed service penetrations and fire stopping defects that could allow fire and smoke to spread rapidly throughout a building.

These issues are often hidden from view but can have a significant impact on life safety and the effectiveness of a building's fire protection measures.

At OHSS, our Fire Risk Assessments go beyond a tick box exercise. We take the time to identify real risks, explain our findings clearly and provide practical recommendations to help you improve fire safety and comply with your legal duties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Whether you manage a care home, residential block, office, warehouse, school or commercial premises, we can help you understand your fire risks and prioritise improvements.

✅ Fire Risk Assessments
✅ Clear, practical reports
✅ Experienced and competent assessors
✅ Nationwide service with North West coverage
✅ Support with remedial action planning

If you are unsure when your Fire Risk Assessment was last reviewed, now is the time to check.
