If you are looking for health and safety trainers and consultants that won't hinder you, we are here to help. Being based in the south east our trainers and consultants work predominantly within the home counties. But we have larger clients through out the UK and Ireland and would happily consider working with you regardless of location. Goldcross are experts in health and safety training. Our results are second to none, but it is vitally important to us that our delegates have fun as well as learn about health & safety. Our tutors use a variety of training methods to keep delegates interested and involved, placing a huge emphasis on interaction. The courses are filled with games, quizzes, activities and movies to supplement the more traditional training techniques which are also used. Goldcross Health & Safety provide Health and Safety training courses, accredited by ConstructionSkills Site Safety Plus. We will shortly be introducing NEBOSH (National Examination Board of Occupational Safety and Health), UKATA (United Kingdom Asbestos Training Association) and IOSH (Institute of Occupational Safety and Health) curricula.

Absolutely brilliant
Absolutely brilliant. Slav was very helpful and a brilliant tutor. I felt comfortable throughout and gained all the knowledge I needed to pass the SSSTS course. Would highly recommend GoldCross training.

Paul Stott.
Paul Stott as my trainer was absolutely 5*, knows his stuff, delivers it in a way that makes it fun, and genuinely wants you to do as well in this course as you can
did my SSSTS with Paul previously, and specifically requested him again for my SMSTS.
thanks for everything Paul!

This has been a very informative and high level executed course by Paul Stott, with clearly a very high degree and experience in H&S . Interestingly, I didnt realise Paul had such a passion for cooking and culinary flare for use of poppy seeds in vegan dishes. Well done you Paul.
Incredible insight and top-tier engagement from Paul Stott
I was honestly dreading the thought of sitting at my desk for 5 days to complete my SMSTS course, but Paul Stott turned what I expected to be a drag into a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Unlike typical, dry training courses where the instructor just reads off a PowerPoint presentation, Paul was lively, upbeat, and kept the entire class genuinely engaged from start to finish. He is a brilliant character whose deep industry experience and incredible insights really back up his teaching. Rather than just helping us pass a test, he actively built up my real-world knowledge and confidence, he shows absolute professionalism.
By the end of the week, I was actually sorry to see it end. Many more people from my company will need this training in the future, and I’ll be insisting they take it with Paul and Goldcross.
My only criticism is he refers to lunch as dinner...
Sssts training
Paul norman was very knowledgable in all the topic could tell he had some real experience. He led the class well and made everyone interact we felt like a proper team
SMSTS Paul Stott
The SMSTS course, well I was expecting 5 days of death by PowerPoint.
Instead, our trainer somehow managed to make health and safety entertaining and alighting.
His knowledge was so impressive that I'm convinced he personally wrote half of the legislation and was present when the Health & Safety at Work Act was drafted.
Every question was answered with confidence, expertise, and usually a story involving someone doing something spectacularly.
The trainer had the rare ability to keep a room full of construction professionals awake after lunch, which is arguably a greater achievement than passing the SMSTS exam itself.
The course was packed with real-world examples, plenty of laughs, and just enough reminders about prison, fines, and HSE inspectors to keep us all behaving ourselves.
I came away with a qualification, a better understanding of site safety, and a new fear of unguarded excavations.
Would highly recommend to anyone taking SMSTS. If all trainers were this good, voluntary attendance at health and safety courses might actually become a thing lol....

An Excellent course with our extremely engaging tutor, Paul Stott.
The course was very informative, and Paul drew upon his real life experiences, and humour, along the way, to make it a thoroughly enjoyable weeks training.
