Ms Nicola Coote
Overview
I am a Chartered Safety Practitioner and Fellow of IOSH and have over 30 years experience in a wide range of occupational safety, health and environmental management disciplines. This includes industrial and commercial settings. I am accredited to deliver IOSH and NEBOSH courses and one of our skills is to design and bespoke training to suit your needs. I am also Deputy CEO of PHSC plc and a founder member of the organisation, so I am able to provide advice, support, system development and training to managers in how to integrate and develop risk management strategies in a growing business.
I have spent a great deal of time over recent years, and particularly since the introduction of the Sentencing Guidelines, in developing and presenting Board briefings and other director /senior executive level training. This has included the IOSH Accredited Course for Directors and Senior Executives as well as our own designed courses which have addressed our client's specific objectives. Having built a successful business from scratch whilst developing as a health and safety practitioner, I am able to speak at both operational as well as strategic level in a way that is pragmatic and reflects the real challenges that business leaders face in a fast moving world.
I am also a Registered Expert Witness and have been involved in a high number of civil and criminal cases. Examples of industry sector include: construction, care home, warehouse environment and hospitality. This work is complex and sometimes challenging but it helps me to keep abreast of legal changes, interpretation of law in the courts and what my clients need to do to avoid litigation risk themselves.
A few years ago I also completed by Level 6 Diploma in Professional Marketing with the Chartered Institute of Marketing which has been particularly beneficial in understanding, inter alia, the power of simple and effective communication, As the Deputy CEO of PHSC plc this has helped with development of group strategy and understanding how different elements of business management interlink.
