Every learning journey is different. Sometimes it's about developing new skills, and sometimes it's about honing what you already know.

The City and Guilds NVQ Level 6 Diploma in Health and Safety Practice is a more independent, self-lead approach to occupational health and safety training. There's no traditional teaching programme or exams - instead candidates create a portfolio of evidence from their day-to-day job that meets the assessment criteria.

This week we're celebrating Ryan Ramsden, who has successfully completed his NVQ with ACT after just over a year of building his portfolio based on his role as an Estates and Facilities Manager for The Rivers C.ofE. Academy Trust.

Follow the link below to find out more about Ryan's experience with this degree-level qualification, including what influence it had over his day-to-day role and what advice he would give to others considering pursuing an NVQ:

"...individuals leaving the Armed Forces are usually well placed to work in health and safety as we are disciplined and trained well to look at the risks of a situation."

Hands up - who's caught themselves thinking 'it's too hot to work' in the past couple of days? 🙋‍♀️

There's no law for maximum working temperature in the UK, because every workplace is different. Employers should make sure they protect workers by considering their individual environment, consulting HSE guidance, and checking with workers to ensure they are as comfortable as reasonably possible - especially if they work outdoors.

Follow the links below to find out more about best practice for warm temperatures and how you can keep your team safe.

🚨 Stay safe, stay compliant - Understand the risks of asbestos 🚨

🔹Despite being banned in 1999, an estimated 300,000 non-domestic buildings still contain asbestos

🔹Over 5,000 deaths per year are attributed to asbestos-related diseases such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

🔹In 2022 (the latest available figures), there were 2,257 recorded deaths from mesothelioma alone.

If your job or your team’s work could disturb asbestos (even accidentally) asbestos training is not just a recommendation; it’s a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

There's still time to secure your space on our next classroom course, running on the 6th June here at ACT's head office in Stourbridge, West Midlands.
