Where Scorpion Safety came from
A strong commitment to health and safety has been a prerequisite of my previous roles and something I was always happy to be involved with. During years of working in high risk industries I have witnessed work related illness, injury and unfortunately even death. These events can have a devastating effect on family, colleagues, friends and business reputation alike. It was with this in mind that I decided to make safety and training my full time occupation.
Prior to setting up Scorpion Safety I spent 18 years working in port operations. This included working closely with civil engineering companies and variety of other associated businesses and contractors. Prior to this I worked on various projects in civil engineering, building and ground-works. My previous roles have taken me countrywide and to North Africa.
Giving people relevant information, instruction and training makes a significant contribution to reducing incidents and accidents - it is also a legal requirement. Another real benefit to providing appropriate information and training is it will help to promote a strong health and safety culture which in turn can enhance a company’s reputation. If people feel safe and confident in their working environment they are more likely to be happier and as the saying goes
‘a happy workforce is a productive workforce’
I am NEBOSH trained in Occupational Safety and Health and NCRQ trained to level 6 in Applied Health and Safety. I also hold the NEBOSH National Certificate in Fire Safety and Risk Management. These are globally recognised qualifications in health and safety; they provide an overview of the key aspects of health and safety such as law, identification and control of work place hazards, risk assessments, accident investigation and the management of health and safety.

We are an independently owned company committed to delivering quality training and service at a competitive price.
