Company Training Policy
We work closely with Investors in People, the CITB and local training groups
to both identify and deliver the training our staff (and customers) need.
Since we began in 1981 we recognised the need for well trained and experienced
staff and have always run an apprenticeship scheme. One of our first apprentices now runs the Ilkley
depot!
We believe strongly in the School’s work placement programme, with 4 to 5 children
attending work experience with us each year. Through this programme we have been
able to show young people what the hire industry is all about, how varied it can
be, and we have successfully recruited new employees.
Training For Our Customers
SHC offer a range of comprehensive training courses to help their customers meet
and understand the latest health and safety legislation and government laws.
We work closely with the CITB and are continually updating the training courses
on offer.
Examples of recent courses are:
- PASMA Certificated Scaffold Tower Erection
- Cable Detection
- Laser Levels
- Diamond Blades & Drills
- Abrasive Wheels
- Safe use of Forklifts
The list is constantly being updated in line with customer needs.
