Overview
Quality Training Solutions UK Ltd is a provider of both bespoke and accredited health and safety qualifications. We also provide bespoke fire training, ranging from general fire safety to instruction in the use of portable fire fighting equipment on live fire situations. I hold membership(s) with The Institute of Fire Engineers, The Institute of Fire Safety Managers, The International Institute of Risk and Safety Management and The Institution of Occupational Safety and Health and I am fully committed to working towards Health, Safety and Environmental best practice.
QTS UK Ltd is also a specialist company which devises legally compliant health and safety and fire safety management solutions for a range of business’. Although we do work with some large high profile organisations, most of our work involves working with small and medium sized enterprises. Due to the cost of accidents, litigation and negative publicity for non-compliant organisations; it is not only a legal requirement, but it makes good business sense for the employer to continually improve and manage the safety arrangements within that particular business undertaking. The aim of QTS UK Ltd is to provide our customers with high value products and services which are both meaningful to the organisation and legally compliant. It is our job to ensure that our customers are compliant within all aspects of their Fire Safety and Health and Safety responsibilities.
