Meeting the Demand for Health and Safety Training

Workplace safety has never been more critical, particularly in high-risk industries such as construction and engineering. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) continues to emphasise the importance of accredited training to reduce workplace accidents and fatalities. The SMSTS and SSSTS courses, developed by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), provide essential management and supervisory training for construction professionals, equipping them with the skills needed to maintain safe working environments.

As part of the nationwide expansion, SMSTS Course will be increasing its presence in key cities and regions, ensuring that both businesses and individuals have convenient access to high-quality training. Whether professionals are looking to enhance their qualifications or businesses seek to upskill their workforce, the new locations and expanded digital training platform will cater to diverse learning needs.

Key Courses Available Nationwide

CITB SMSTS Course

The CITB SMSTS course is a five-day programme designed for construction site managers, project managers, and senior supervisors. Covering essential topics such as risk assessment, health and safety laws, and best practices in site management, the SMSTS qualification ensures that site leaders can effectively oversee safety standards and compliance.

CITB SSSTS Course

Aimed at site supervisors, the two-day CITB SSSTS course provides comprehensive training on the legal responsibilities of site supervision, hazard identification, and effective communication to maintain a safe working environment. As a mandatory qualification for many supervisory roles, SSSTS certification is crucial for career progression in the construction industry.

IOSH Courses

Recognised internationally, IOSH courses offer valuable training for professionals in various industries. The IOSH Managing Safely course is particularly popular, equipping managers and team leaders with the knowledge to implement effective health and safety policies in the workplace. These courses ensure that organisations adhere to best practices, reducing workplace risks and promoting a culture of safety.

The hybrid training approach combines face-to-face instruction with digital learning materials, enabling greater flexibility for those balancing work commitments. This commitment to accessibility aligns with the UK’s drive towards improving workforce competency and ensuring that businesses remain compliant with evolving health and safety regulations.

ABR Electric is proud to offer professional installation of Generac Generators, the industry leader in backup power solutions, and is here to explain why every homeowner should consider upgrading to a permanent solution over portable alternatives.

Generac Generators, installed by ABR Electric, provide significant advantages over portable systems:

  • Automatic Power Restoration: Generac generators connect directly to your home’s electrical system and activate automatically during an outage, ensuring continuous power.

Record number of curious visitors to Church of Scientology in Denmark

Published

on

Copenhagen. The Church of Scientology Denmark, located on Nytorv in the heart of Copenhagen’s medieval city, is extremely well-attended, whether for informational lectures, Open House events, pre-booked tours or by passersby who come in and visit the permanent exhibition in the Church’s Information Center. However, the number of visitors for a single evening broke all records during this year’s Culture Night on October 11, when over 1,900 visitors came within 6 hours.

On Culture Night, visitors came in to visit the information center, talk to members, get a tour, take a stress test, or just walk around and look around. When asked directly, they said they had chosen to come in simply because they were curious to find out what goes on in a Church of Scientology. And judging by the responses to a survey, their curiosity was satisfied, as 92% found the visit educational, exciting, informative, really good, etc.

One visitor said: “Thank you for opening the doors. It was really exciting to be shown around and talk to someone who has been there for more than 25 years.” Her friend added: “I was very pleasantly surprised by how professional, well-organized and beautiful it all is. We are super happy that we chose to go in here, it has been a completely new and positive surprise.”

The Church of Scientology Denmark celebrates its 60th anniversary in Denmark this year, and since the Church opened in new premises on Nytorv in 2017, the Church has placed great emphasis on inviting interested parties in so that they can get answers to their questions and see the place. For example, the church’s information center is open every day from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., something that thousands of passersby have taken advantage of, and the church has also had over 6,500 people visit, who have participated in free pre-booked approximately 2-hour lectures with tours, something that high school classes, cultural associations and university students in particular have taken advantage of. On top of that, the church has held dozens of Open House events on all sorts of socially relevant topics and Open Stage Art Nights, where new artists can come and perform.

Due to the great interest and curiosity, the Church has also started to hold weekly introductory lectures starting this past summer and still going to date, where the large chapel, which you can enter directly from Nytorv, is repeatedly filled to capacity. Topics covered include “The subconscious has power over you” or “Have you lived before this life?”

These lectures are often given by the Church’s daily leader, Mikkel Jørck, who is himself a third-generation Scientologist, and whose grandfather, Knud Jørck, was the first to fill his car with books by L. Ron Hubbard and take them home to Denmark after a trip to England, after which he began to spread knowledge of the subject.

“I am sure that both my father and grandfather would have clapped their hands if they had experienced the great interest that still exists in learning more about L. Ron Hubbard’s groundbreaking discoveries and effective methods,” says Mikkel Jørck. “It is a privilege to follow in their footsteps, and just like them, I find it incredibly inspiring to introduce Dianetics and Scientology to people who have never heard of it from us before.”

The Church also held regular Church services, including weddings, name-giving and funerals over the past year alone.
