1 Health and Safety Training and Consultancy Services

2 About Us At Cornwall Risk Management, we do things differently. We're not about charging sky high prices and squeezing the most out of our clients budgets - we have a fair and open approach to training and consultancy. We are able to offer our clients very competitive prices without reducing the quality. We do this by having efficient business practices: We don't lease training facilities 365 days a year, we have agreements with various training venues and pay for what we use. This means no business rates or expensive lease payments, and we can pass this saving on to our clients. Remember if the training is to be delivered at your own venue, you save even more money. We use professionals and experts as we need them, meaning that not only do we save money by using casual staff, but you receive training and consultancy from practitioners working 'in the field' with day-to-day knowledge and experience in their relevant subject areas. Your trainer or consultant will be qualified to at least degree-level in their chosen subject and have substantial experience of at least 5 years practice in a relevant occupation. Best Value, not simply cheaper.
