Our beginning is humble and diverse. Vital Workplace Training Group Ltd started when a need was recognised in the workplace. First Aid is a under recognised subject in Health and Safety, as it doesn’t belong in either the Medical world or Health and Safety.

Seeing this, the Founders, Richard Penny and Dan Smith sat down and thought “how can we change the overall attitude towards First Aid in the Workplace?” After a bit of quick research, a few coffees and a lot of workplace walks, they soon found that the regulations for First Aid had largely remained untouched for over 35 years. What adaptions had been added had no major changes over Workplace practice. Well, when faced with a challenge of a training subject that is not flexible, stale and outdated, what do you do? How about make the client and their Workplace the focus.

As the idea flourished, so did the working relationship between the Founders. It became clear that working together towards the goal of renovating not just First Aid, but Workplace Health and Safety training as a sector needed experience, co-operation and innovation. The calm and thoughtful talents and tactics of Marketing, Customer Relations and Project Management brought by Richard were mixed together with the chaotic and explosive skills of Critical Thinking, Emergency Planning and Innovation of Dan. What happened next was the result. Vital Workplace Training Ltd was formed as the coming together of several small companies who have the same objective; change training forever

Vital Workplace Training Group utilises the principles that each small business brings that to create a wonderful personality of its own. The unique variations that each trainer and business offers builds the perfect environment for your team to learn how to change their workplace positively and for the better
