Arco open new safety training centre in Hull
New facility specializes in confined space and working at height hands-on training for range of sectors
SAFETY experts Arco have opened their latest safety training centre in Hull, to serve businesses in the Yorkshire region and beyond. The new site is the latest investment in Arco’s Professional Safety Services training facilities, tailored to workers across a range of sectors, including the highest-risk industries.
This new practical training facility follows Arco’s ongoing investment in their National Distribution Centre (NDC) site to develop their learning academy and brand new Customer Discovery Centre that bring together product expertise, training, and industry collaboration under one roof.
Specializing in confined space and working at height ‘hands-on’ training, the facility includes a confined space labyrinth and working at height course with safe access to the rooftop of the National Distribution Centre, alongside a multitude of classroom-based courses, thereby increasing accessibility to critical safety education.
As part of the company’s Professional Safety Services offering, Arco also provide mobile confined space units for bespoke training in any location. Following Arco’s £200,000 investment in 2023, these state-of-the-art units can simulate risks in different environments for businesses across Yorkshire.
The new site also offers courses with a blended-learning approach, including:
Classroom training in Arco’s learning academy
E-learning and video conferencing
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 remain the most dangerous environments and, therefore, 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’s equipment, training or support, our experienced teams offer a complete solution.’
