Rhino Safety, a health and safety training and consultancy based in celebrates the launch of their new charity based training initiative set to kick off in October 2021. The initiative will see the company offer in-person training courses including First Aid, Fire Safety and Mental Health Awareness training to both local and national businesses in aid of charity.
Starting in October, Rhino Safety will be running one accredited training course per month at their newly unveiled training suite. The course will be free to attend, with delegates being asked to make a donation to a charity in lieu of the usual fee. The Rhino Safety team will take it in turns to pick a charity each month, and all donations will then receive all the donations. The first course on offer for October will be First Aid. Courses will be held at the Edwin Foden Centre in Sandbach, and include refreshments, lunch, and all course and qualification materials. Businesses are limited to booking a maximum of two places, and courses are open to anyone whether via a business or as an individual.
Since Covid restrictions were lifted earlier in the year, the company has witnessed high attendance and interest in many of its training courses, particularly in areas such as health and safety and mental health and well-being. The trend is a clear indicator that, in light of the last 18 months, businesses are committed to investing in the health, wellbeing and personal development of their workforce.

“We want as many people as possible to be trained in areas such as first aid and fire safety, because it is good for businesses and good for the population as a whole.”
Cate Walter, Director, Rhino Safety, said, "We have always been heavily involved with our local third-sector community, providing direct health and safety support to those organisations who would otherwise struggle to access expert training. With our new training facility, we thought we could widen our scope of provision in a way that benefits multiple people at the same time."
Co-Director, Simon Walter, added, “We want as many people as possible to be trained in areas such as first aid and fire safety, because it is good for businesses and good for the population as a whole. This way, people can gain valuable qualifications whilst also helping out charities, so it’s a real feel-good exercise!”
