At OCB, we assist companies in the reclamation of their CITB grant claim. We will ensure that each company can claim back the optimum amount that they are entitled to for the amount of training and development they intend to do for the following year. We will help set up the correct recording procedures for all your training records to further maximise your returns.

This service is suitable for all sizes of Companies please do not feel that your Company or partnership is too small or does not undertake enough formal training to warrant a Training Plan. We hope you will be pleasantly surprised on the range of training you are eligible to claim.


Comprehensive Training Plans

Comprehensive training plans are an integral part of the reclamation of Grants. Training and Development Plans are designed to encourage employers to develop and implement a structured approach to training and development by evaluating all the activities undertaken. It is also very helpful in the formation of a grant claim as it allows planning for the forthcoming year.

Companies may also find themselves eligible for Government or local area initiatives by signing up to development /training plans. Even if your Company is not registered with the CITB or is not in the Construction industry, a training plan can assist a Company to forecast a realistic budget for the trading year and ensure they are adequately covered for key safety personnel.

Training Plans also send the right message to the staff and workforce, that a Company values their service this in many cases has assisted in retention of personnel.

Health and Safety Policies -

We develop bespoke Health and Safety Policies for Companies in a wide range of Industries, included in the process is the inspection of premises, assessment of current procedures, document audits and training requirements. The Policy will provide the Client with the security that they are protecting staff and satisfying their legal requirement. The documentation will identify-

• The Management and organisation of Health of health and Safety
• The Health and Safety responsibilities of individuals at all levels
• Health and Safety rules, correct working practices and guidance expected to be followed by staff, contractors and visitors
• Risk assessment procedures and a range of generic risk assessments
• First Aid, occupational health, reporting of Injuries, accidents and diseases procedures

Documentation -

As we are all aware no two Clients are the same, as your work mix changes many of your clients require specific instructions/information to be communicated to them and the site/establishment workforce. In addition to generic assessments and procedures, here at OCB we provide specific documentation for the following which are tailored to your requirement-

• Management Structures and defined responsibilities
• Risk/COSHH/Noise/Manual Handling/Fire assessments
• Method Statements
• Reporting/Recording procedures

Site Visits/Audits -

We are currently supporting a number of Clients who work in ‘high risk’ activities in Construction, Utilities and affiliated Industries, OCB visit Operational Sites and Establishments on agreed intervals. Our team of Safety Advisers are not deployed just to Police the process and documentation, but to liaise with the Client in working to ‘best practise’.  Whilst ‘onsite’ our Advisers will complete a Health and Safety Inspection form which will be made available immediately to your representative. Whilst onsite our Advisers will also deliver, if required ‘toolbox’ talks on a range of topics, our Clients find theses talks a useful medium to communicate essential information to their workforce.
