Case Studies
Bespoke Competency Training for Local Authority Workforce
Client: UK Local Authority
Personnel Trained: 150 Operatives
Duration: 3 Weeks
Service Package: Bespoke Scaffold Tower Training & Asbestos Awareness
When a local authority identified specific risks associated with their employees’ day-to-day activities—particularly around working at height and potential asbestos exposure—they partnered with 2020 Safety Training to deliver tailored, competency-based training to 150 staff across multiple departments.
Our Approach
Workplace Risk Review: We began with a comprehensive consultation to understand the authority’s operational environment, job roles, and risk profile. This included reviewing incident data, site conditions, and compliance requirements.
Bespoke Programme Design: Based on our findings, we developed two custom training modules:
Scaffold Tower Training focused on safe assembly, inspection, and use of mobile access towers in line with PASMA principles.
Asbestos Awareness was tailored to the authority’s property maintenance and facilities teams, ensuring compliance with Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Flexible Scheduling: Training was delivered across multiple council sites to minimise disruption to services, with sessions structured to accommodate shift patterns and operational needs.
Competency-Based Delivery: Each course included practical assessments and knowledge checks to ensure real-world competence, not just attendance.
The Results
Improved Safety Compliance: The authority achieved full compliance with statutory training requirements for asbestos and working at height.
Reduced Risk Exposure: Staff demonstrated improved awareness and safer practices, reducing the likelihood of incidents and near-misses.
Operational Confidence: Managers reported increased confidence in their teams’ ability to carry out tasks safely and independently.
Positive Feedback: Delegates praised the relevance, clarity, and hands-on nature of the training—highlighting its direct impact on their daily work.
