Finch Consulting delivers specialist training programmes that are designed around each client’s unique requirements. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, we take time to understand organisational objectives, workforce needs and operational challenges before designing a tailored learning experience that achieves measurable learning outcomes. Our programmes can be delivered through classroom learning, practical workshops, online modules or blended learning solutions, providing flexibility to meet business and budget requirements.

Specialist Expertise Across Asset Management, Health & Safety and Process Safety

Our training portfolio draws upon the expertise of consultants who work daily across complex industrial environments. This allows us to bridge the gap between theory and real-world application.

Asset Management and Machinery Safety

Effective asset management depends on ensuring equipment is safe, compliant and fit for purpose. Our machinery safety and PUWER training programmes help organisations understand legislative requirements, industry standards and practical risk assessment techniques.

A recent programme delivered for a food manufacturer combined classroom learning with practical workplace assessments, covering:

Machinery safety legislation and compliance requirements

PUWER regulations and responsibilities

Industry standards and guidance

Risk assessment methodologies

Practical equipment assessments

Competence-based assessment and verification

The programme combined theory with hands-on evaluation of workplace equipment, ensuring delegates could apply their learning directly to operational environments. This practical approach helps organisations improve compliance, reduce incidents, increase workforce confidence and support productivity improvements.

Health and Safety Management

Building a strong health and safety culture requires more than awareness training. Employees and managers need the competence to identify hazards, assess risks and implement appropriate controls.

Finch develops bespoke health and safety training that focuses on practical application and behavioural change. Our programmes help organisations understand legal duties, risk management principles and best practice while providing delegates with the confidence to make informed safety decisions in their day-to-day roles.
