Whether you require a health and safety presence on-site or ad-hoc advice and training, Acorn Health & Safety are on hand to protect staff, contractors and others from the known hazards within the manufacturing and engineering environments.

“I attended the Paediatric level 3 First Aid course on 27 June and 4th July with Sarah Howarth. Firstly, can I say what a fantastic course it was. I really enjoyed it and thought Sarah was a brilliant trainer and obviously very passionate about first aid. I feel really confident walking away from my time with her and although I hope I don’t need to use what I learnt, I love that I feel I could.”
