- Their health and safety responsibilities
- The risks they manage day-to-day

The Arinite Transformation™
From Reactive Firefighting to Proactive Health & Safety Compliance
REACTIVE
(Where 60% of Businesses Operate)
What It Looks Like:
No formal HSE systems in place. Everything is reactive, waiting for something to go wrong. Documentation is missing or outdated.
Why It's Dangerous:
- ✗£50K-£150K average fine when (not if) HSE inspects
- ✗Can't bid on contracts requiring HSE certification
- ✗One accident away from director prosecution
This isn't just "non-compliant." It's criminally negligent. Directors face personal prosecution.

This isn't just "non-compliant." It's criminally negligent. Directors face personal prosecution.
COMPLIANCE
(Where Most Businesses Stop)
What It Looks Like:
Basic HSE documentation is in place. Minimum legal requirements met. You can pass a basic audit.
Why It's Better (But Not Enough):
- ✓Legal protection (no fines if inspected)
- ✓Can bid on contracts requiring certification
- ✓Pass basic client audits
- ✗Still reactive (problems arise, then you respond)
- ✗Compliance maintained by one person (bottleneck)
- ✗Systems don't run themselves
Compliance is where most consultants get you, then leave. You're legal, but you're not optimised.

PROACTIVE
(Where Arinite Clients Operate)
What It Looks Like:
Systems run proactively (prevent problems before they occur). Compliance is distributed (not dependent on one person). HSE becomes a competitive advantage, not a cost centre.
Why It's Transformational:
- ✓Win more contracts (HSE certification opens doors)
- ✓Save 20+ hours/week (systems run themselves)
- ✓Peace of mind (sleep soundly, without the fear of prosecution)
- ✓Focus on your core business while we handle compliance
That's why 95%+ of clients renew year after year.

The Arinite Difference:
Other consultants get you to Stage 2 (Compliant) and disappear.
We get you to Stage 3 (Proactive) and keep you there.
That's why we call it transformation, not just compliance.
"We work with you to deliver peace of mind. We tailor our service provision to your business to provide proactive, pragmatic health and safety advice and that helps reduce costs by ensuring compliance with relevant health and safety legislation."

Browse LibraryYes. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, UK employers must provide suitable health and safety information, instruction, and training to all employees and others affected by their work activities. Failure to provide adequate training can result in enforcement action, fines, and personal liability for directors.
Yes. All Arinite health and safety training courses are customised to reflect your specific activities, workplace risks, and workforce. We adapt course content, case studies, legal emphasis, and delivery style to ensure maximum relevance to your operations.
Yes, where appropriate. Online health and safety training and virtual delivery are suitable for many roles, provided the content is relevant and engagement is maintained. Arinite offers online health and safety courses, virtual instructor-led sessions, and blended learning approaches to suit different workforces.
Health and safety training should be reviewed periodically and refreshed when roles, risks, processes, or legislation change. As a general guide, most courses should be refreshed every 1–3 years. Fire marshal training refresher courses are typically recommended annually. Arinite can advise on the appropriate refresh cycle for each course.
Yes. All Arinite health and safety training courses include attendance records and certificates of completion. These support audits, HSE inspections, and CPD (Continuing Professional Development) evidence requirements.
A professional review of your risks, roles, and operations will identify appropriate training requirements. Arinite can carry out a training needs analysis to recommend the right courses for your business, from fire marshal training and manual handling to DSE assessment and COSHH training.
Health and safety training costs vary depending on the course, number of delegates, delivery method, and level of customisation. Arinite offers competitive pricing for on-site, virtual, and online health and safety training. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your specific requirements.
The training you need depends on your business activities, workplace hazards, and workforce roles. At a minimum, most UK businesses require employee health and safety awareness training, fire marshal training, and manual handling training. Directors need specific health and safety training for directors. A risk assessment or training needs analysis will identify exactly what's required.
Yes. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, employers must appoint one or more competent persons to carry out fire safety duties, including fire marshals or fire wardens. Fire marshal training ensures your designated personnel understand evacuation procedures, fire extinguisher use, fire prevention, and their legal responsibilities.
Fire marshal training typically takes half a day (approximately 3–4 hours) for a standard course. Full-day fire marshal training courses are available for workplaces with more complex fire risks. Arinite delivers fire marshal training on-site at your premises or virtually.
IOSH Managing Safely is the UK's most popular health and safety training course for managers and supervisors. It is designed by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) and covers risk assessment, hazard identification, and health and safety management responsibilities. Arinite's health and safety training for directors and managers aligns with IOSH Managing Safely principles and is delivered by IOSH Chartered instructors.
IOSH (Institution of Occupational Safety and Health) offers practical training courses like IOSH Managing Safely and IOSH Working Safely, aimed at managers and employees. NEBOSH (National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health) offers qualification-based courses like the NEBOSH General Certificate, aimed at those pursuing a career in health and safety. Arinite's instructors hold both IOSH Chartered membership and NEBOSH qualifications.
Arinite specialises in health and safety training rather than first aid certification. However, we can recommend accredited first aid training providers and help you carry out a first aid needs assessment as required by the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981. Contact us and we'll connect you with a suitable partner for first aid at work or emergency first aid at work courses.
Yes. Under UK law, all employees must receive adequate health and safety training relevant to their role and workplace risks. This includes induction training for new starters, role-specific training (such as manual handling training, fire marshal training, or COSHH training), and refresher training when circumstances change. The level and content varies by role and risk.
