Alan Dick Communications – A host of training services available to them and the Rail Industry

C&G Services have been an approved supplier with Alan Dick Communications (ADC) for a long time and have delivered a number of tailored training courses to suit their specific needs. We are committed to serving ADC and the Rail Industry as a whole and we are current members of The National Skills Academy for Railway Engineering.

We work closely with ADC to design training courses that give their key staff awareness, competency and safe working practices across a wide range of subjects which have included Manual Handling with use of MAC tool, Spillage Response with COSHH & Environmental awareness, Fire Safety, CDM awareness and Safety Harness Inspection.

Our courses are designed and delivered to our ISO 9001 certification and routinely include best practice and key information dictated by the HSE and Rail Industry Bodies (Network Rail, RSSB etc.)

“C&G Services has provided Alan Dick Communications Ltd with outstanding practical training needs over recent years” said Nick Lyne, Health & Safety Officer for Alan Dick Communications Ltd. “The training has helped establish a strict baseline for health and safety awareness and specific training for the staff we employ, to carry out their roles in both a safe and efficient way.”

The courses we have delivered to ADC have been well received by all of the candidates, with the long term benefit being that C&G can expand on any or all elements with more in depth face to face training, site inspections/audits, competency checks and regular assessments, and blended learning solutions utilising e-learning packages.

“In 2015 Alan Dick Communications Ltd become certified to BS OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System” continued Nick, “A key element within the standard is to ensure staff are trained and competent to carry out their role on a day to day basis. Alan Dick Communications Ltd immediately turned to C&G to help establish further health and safety training needs to ensure compliance to its management system and knew without hesitation that with such a brilliant track record, C&G could help deliver our specific training needs.

“Over the past year we have demonstrated to external auditors that the company has trained and competent personnel who can promptly deal with chemical spills and fires along with ensuring they use the correct manual handling technique when on the rail infrastructure or in the warehouse facility.”

Our collaboration with Alan Dick Communications is an ongoing success story as they are growing exponentially as a business, and it once again represents C&G’s unique ability to consult, design and deliver training services that fit their requirements exactly, whilst offering cost effectiveness.

All candidates have received our ISO9001 quality assured certification for the training and we wish them and ADC every success in the future.

So what else can we offer to the Rail Sector as a whole?
