Introducing Health and Safety Officer Mick Backhouse

As Horizon Platforms’ Training Instructor and Health & Safety Officer, it is my responsibility to ensure that our customers receive the highest standards of training and comfort when they undertake one of our many training courses.

I have worked in all areas of the powered access industry and have been an IPAF Training Instructor for over 7 years; training at many sites and locations throughout the UK.  Having obtained a NEBOSH General Certificate and being a member of IOSH, with a TECH IOSH status, I am able to confidently carry out all staff and customer Health and Safety training which includes; IPAF, Working at Height, Health and Safety Site Safety Awareness, Manual Handling, Abrasive Wheels and Ladders & Steps training.  All of the courses offered by Horizon can be tailored to suit the needs of our customer to ensure they are aligned to their business needs.

I can honestly say that Horizons new Training Centre is without doubt the best facility within the UK.  Ideally located, just 1 minute from Junction 40 of the M1 Wakefield, we welcome delegates from all over the UK on a daily basis.  We are proud to boast the largest indoor IPAF training area in the North of England, ensuring our delegates comfort, even throughout the colder winter months.

We are able to offer individual or group bookings and can often accommodate last minute enquiries.  If required, we can also offer all of our training services at your premises within the UK.

Our modern facility also offers an area for delegates to get to know one another and me as their trainer, as well as offering complimentary lunches and drinks to all delegates.
