Our new Hull facility brings practical safety training to Yorkshire

Strengthening our position as the UK’s leading safety expert, we have opened our latest safety training centre in Hull, to serve businesses in the Yorkshire region and beyond. The new Hull based site is the latest investment in Arco Professional Safety Services' training facilities, tailored to workers across a range of sectors including the highest risk industries.

 

Ongoing investment  

This new practical training facility follows our ongoing investment in our National Distribution Centre (NDC) site to develop our learning academy and brand-new Arco Discovery Centre that brings together product expertise, training and industry collaboration under one roof.  

Specialising in confined space and working at height ‘hands-on’ training, the facility includes a confined spaces labyrinth and working at height with, safe access to the rooftop of our National Distribution Centre, alongside a multitude of classroom-based courses, increasing accessibility to critical safety education.

 

Mobile confined space units

As part of the Arco Professional Safety Services offering, we also provide mobile confined space units for bespoke training in any location. Following our £200,000 investment in 2023, these state of the art units can simulate risks in different environments for businesses across Yorkshire.

 

A new centre of excellence

The new site also offers courses with a blended learning approach including:  

• Classroom training in the Arco learning academy 

• E-learning and video conference   

• Practical training  

• Virtual reality modules  

Jamie Sadler, Commercial Director at Arco Professional Safety Services, said: “We have invested significantly in our NDC site this year to make safety more accessible for our customers. This new centre of excellence demonstrates Arco’s approach to the future of health and safety; putting innovation, convenience and high-standards at the forefront.  

“Working at height and confined spaces remains the most dangerous environments and therefore they require expert training and support. Access to bespoke training that provides people with the correct skills and capabilities to carry out their work safely is essential. Whether it is equipment, training or support, our experienced teams offer a complete solution.”
