How Spetisbury Construction Supported Site Safety with Asbestos Awareness Training Across 39 Delegate Places

Award-winning Dorset construction and refurbishment specialist, Spetisbury Construction Ltd needed safety training that could keep operatives site-ready without disrupting live projects. Since 2023, the business has booked 39 delegate places with Ouch Learning & Development across Asbestos Awareness training, Fire Safety and First Aid training.

Challenges

For Spetisbury Construction, training needs are shaped by the realities of construction work. Site commitments, employee holidays and changing project demands all have to be considered when arranging courses. The business needed to keep certificates up to date while limiting disruption across active sites. Asbestos Awareness training and Fire Warden in Construction training were a particular priority, helping operatives stay current, competent and prepared for the safety responsibilities connected to their work.

“The main challenge was fitting training around site commitments and employee holidays.” – Melanie Underhill

Solutions

Spetisbury Construction chose Ouch Learning & Development because the courses matched the business’s needs, the location worked well for Dorset-based employees and the team were easy to deal with. The booking process also helped keep things moving. Even when bookings were arranged through CITB, or when site commitments meant candidate changes were needed, the process remained simple and flexible. For Spetisbury Construction, the value of the training was not only in the certificate. It was in having courses that were professional, relevant and delivered in a way that worked for the candidates in the room. The training helped keep delegates engaged and gave them reassurance that they had the right knowledge for their role.
