About GPH Safety...

After 12 successful years co-founding and developing Activus SMS Gerard Hand formed GPH Safety in conjunction with his wife, Jane. Over the years the company has developed exceptional working relationships with a number of blue chip organisations in the private sector and well respected organisations from the public sector.
The principle area of business activity is the provision of training courses, however, this is complimented very well with consultancy services such as facilitating risk assessments, conducting audits and undertaking full safety management reviews for large organisations. This practical involvement in the ‘real world' keeps us up to date with the issues that our clients face and enables us to bring this experience to our training courses. In this way we are able to keep our courses fresh with real life examples of problems and solutions rather than just looking at the theoretical aspects.

Our Philosophy

The company philosophy is simple, in everything we do we are ‘making safety sensible'. All too often health & safety can be put across in an overcomplicated manner resulting in individuals and organisations treating the subject with a certain amount of fear. This very often results in a risk avoidance mentality that can be very damaging to organisations. Health and safety is often quoted as the reason for not doing something or not being able to offer a particular service to the detriment of all concerned. Our aim is put across health & safety in an uncomplicated common sense manner that removes the fear factor. We want health & safety to be seen as an enabler rather than a disabler, managing risk with sensible control measures rather than terminating activities or services.
