Kentec Training's new trailer for onsite Courses

We are now able to offer full PASMA Tower for Users on site training utilising both 3T (Through The Trap) and AGR (Advanced Guard Rail) assembly methods.

This is in response to continuing difficulty and requests from our clients who require this course to be held at their sites or offices, in providing a suitable tower that is not only in an acceptable condition but also has the full complement of componants, including the Advanced Guard Rails.

Within the Trailer Unit we have a full 4.2m Platform Single Width Alloy Tower (to BS EN 1004) with sufficent componants to instructor both 3T and AGR approved assembly methods. We provide this aditional equipment at no additional charge but must insist on secure parking at the site near to the training room.

The requirement for the AGR assembly method to be fully incorporated within ALL PASMA Tower Training Course has been a requirement for some time now, however, some PASMA training providers have not when training on sites due to the difficulty in obtaining the correct equipment. To ensure that you receive the full PASMA Tower for Users Course call us on 0333-666-0555 or email: info@kentectraining.co.uk

Kentec Training's all weather practical area

Make sure when booking your courses this coming winter that you have a suitable practical area to build your tower or operate a MEWP. In many cases, especially when we have been asked to do an onsite course during the autumn and winter months we have been unable to complete the practical assessment stage as there is not a sufficient space to build or operate equipment safely. Additionally, many training centres still do their practical assessments in a designated area outside. This opens up the chance of the course being affected by the Great British Elements! Rain, high wind or snow can cause the practical area to be shut down, having to return to the centre another day to complete the course, costing both your resources and time.


At Kentec Training, we have an all weather practical area, with climate control and separate refreshment facilities and recreation room with a 42" flat screen TV to keep our delegates occupied when waiting for their team to participate in the practical exercises. For more information, or to book on one of our courses visit www.kentectraining.co.uk or e-mail info@kentectraining.co.uk. Alternatively, call 0333 666 0555 and a training consultant will be happy to assist you.

The IOSH Managing Safely Course is now available from Kentec Training Ltd!
The IOSH Managing Safely Course develops the legal, moral and social duties of sector supervisors, managers, directors and business owners by giving guidance on how to control their workforce in accordance with current Health & Safety and best practice. You’ll find a practical programme, full of step- by-step guidance, and with a sharp business focus. But you’ll also find that the highly innovative format and content engages and inspires delegates – critical to getting essential health and safety messages across. As an IOSH accredited training provider, Kentec Training are able to provide IOSH Managing Safely at our training centre in Tonbridge or at your work place subject to condition subject to conditions and available facilities.

The aim of our IOSH Managing Safely Course is to instruct and assess each person to develop the legal, moral and social duties of sector supervisors, managers, directors and business owners by giving guidance on how to control their workforce in accordance with current Health & Safety and best practice.

The IOSH Managing Safely Course is a theory based with exercises and assessments including; training room lectures, video/DVD presentations, written and practical assignments.

1. Introducing Managing Safely: Some managers may see health and safety as an add-on to their role – even an intrusion. The first module makes it clear that managers are accountable for their teams, and makes a persuasive case for managing safely.

2. Assessing Risks: This module defines and demystifies ‘risk’ and ‘risk assessment’. Risk assessments and a simple scoring system are introduced, and delegates carry out Publish Posta series of assessments.

3. Controlling Risks: Here the session tackles cutting risks down, concentrating on the best techniques to control key risks, and how to choose the right method.

4. Understanding Your Responsibilities: This module looks at the demands of the law and how the legal system works, and introduces a health and safety management system.

5. Identifying Hazards: All the main issues any operation has to deal with are covered in this module – entrances and exits, work traffic, fire, chemicals, electricity, physical and verbal abuse, bullying, stress, noise, housekeeping and the working environment, slips, trips and falls, working at height, computers and manual handling.

6. Investigating Accidents and Incidents: The session starts with why accidents should be investigated, and goes on to cover why things go wrong, and how to carry out an investigation when they do.

7. Measuring Performance: This module explains how checking performance can help to improve health and safety. Delegates learn how to develop basic performance indicators, and get to grips with auditing and proactive and reactive measuring.

8. Protecting Our Environment: A short but effective introduction to waste and pollution leads into a look at how organisations and individual managers can get involved in cutting down environmental impacts.


The IOSH Managing Safely Course runs over 4 days, beginning at 9am and finishing at 4pm on each day. However, if you require the training to be delivered in an alternative time period, we will endeavour to accommodate your needs wherever possible. The IOSH Managing Safely Course does not have an expiry date, however IOSH recommend that candidates undergo a refresher course every 5 years.
