I highly recommend this course with Livius training. Mark was very informative and kept us engaged the whole 3 days of the course. He was happy to answer any questions we had and the course was very informative. There were lots of examples which helped to make sure we understood what might happen in the workplace and how to risk assess it to put the correct actions in place. I would recommend this course to anyone who wishes to learn about managing safely in the workplace.

Excellent from start to finish in all aspects – a lot could learn from Livius values – enjoyed.
