Keeping abreast of Health and Safety issues is important for any organisation, and something Fox’s clearly embrace as an essential ingredient in their long-running success story. But Martin Horn, Fox’s Confectionery Health & Safety Advisor wanted something that would ‘keep their staff awake’ as well as contributing to their continually improving safety record, reputation and future as a progressive employer in the area. He contacted The LMT (Leadership and Management Training) Co Ltd, because he had heard that this was one organisation which did not deliver just training, more of a training experience!

Another criteria was for the candidates to have fun…Mary Brooks of The LMT explained: “Many people in business would be aghast at the concept of having fun whilst embroiled in the issues of health and safety, but serious subject areas can be well received when using the fun factor to hammer home hard messages about the application of H&S in the workplace, and keeping employees safe and well.”

The training was delivered by a NEBOSH qualified and CIEH registered trainer from The LMT Co Ltd – and adding to the fun factor balloons, newspapers, staplers, scissors and Christmas decorations were used over the two days, with not a polar bear in sight!
