“You recently ran some health and safety and COSHH training here at St Werburghs City Farm. First of all – it was a fantastic day and loads of our staff have fed back that it was really interesting, engaging and informative. Thank you! The trainer used some COSHH Risk Assessment and Register of substances templates during the day. They’re so much better than ones we have been using up until now.”
