FAQs

Questions we often get.

Anything else, call us on 03300 235 636 or send an enquiry.

Can we buy the kit without training?

No. Soft Restraint equipment is work equipment under PUWER 1998, and under Section 6 we do not supply kit without evidence of training. Staff need a current certificate in its safe and effective use.

Should we choose end-user or Train the Trainer?

End-user certification is for staff who will use the kit. Train the Trainer is for people who will train colleagues in-house, and needs a teaching or trainer qualification.

Is the SEELS included?

Yes. Training on the SEELS lifting sling is included at no extra cost on every course.

Can you come to us?

Yes. We deliver in-house across the UK and internationally. In-house end-user training is £1,350 for up to 12 delegates.

Can we see the kit first?

Yes. Book a free demonstration and we will show your team the full kit at your service.
