Mary Darlington has delivered Health & Safety Training for Managers and Supervisors in Siemens Ltd. These one day courses were developed in conjunction with Siemens and adapted to the company’s specific needs. Feedback from all participants has been positive with many commenting on Marys obvious passion for the topic which gets everyone involved quickly. Her vivid style of training makes the day interesting for all participants. She had extensively knowledge of the area and her frank discussion on the practical challenges in implementing an effective H&S system was welcomed. All objectives of the course were achieved as each participant left the course having a broad understanding of their personal responsibilities for their staff.

We would be happy to recommend Mary as a Health and Safety trainer and will continue to use her.
