WHY EDP?

EDP specialises in Occupational Health, Safety and Environment.

That means our people are professionals, with a passion for seeing work spaces transformed into places of safety and having a beneficial impact on the environment. They are also concerned to see organisations reaping tangible benefits from their investment of effort and money in these areas.

This is only possible with the cooperation of a competent, understanding workforce, which is why we offer the very best in health, safety and environment training.

Emphasis on Quality

In regard to training, our attitude is that only the best will do. Training is the start point of health and safety awareness and competence. Inadequacies in course content or the way it is communicated can have a lasting detrimental impact on your staff. Consequently, we treat our training as of fundamental importance.

We regularly review our course material and we also monitor the performance of our trainers. This happens on a routine basis but is also impacted by the feedback we receive from every delegate who attends our courses.

Emphasis on Relevance

We select and construct our courses to address the practical day-to-day needs of businesses and their employees. Consequently, our training portfolio develops in response to the needs expressed by our clients and what our consultants on the ground see happening in practice.

Our generic courses address the needs of the majority of organisations. However, we don’t assume a one-size-fits-all attitude. We are aware that many organisations have requirements that are specific to their particular sector and even to specific businesses. Consequently we are able to customise our generic courses to suit individual clients.

Emphasis on Value

In today’s competitive climate it is important to know you are getting value for money from your training provider. All our training is competitively priced and we will recommend the most cost-effective option for your needs, whether individuals attending our public courses, running a dedicated course on your premises or a combination of the two.

Some of our training is also available in the form of CBT (Computer Based Training). Although it doesn't suit everybody's temperament, it can prove both flexible and cost-effective in the right circumstances.

Emphasis on Consistency

Most customers who come to us for training also come to us for other services associated with health, safety and the environment. Our generic training courses are designed as integral components of our Safety and Environment Management Systems.

Some clients require us to implement fully integrated Management Systems and others pick and choose components as the need arises - for a policy or risk assessment, for example.

Because our courses are designed to complement our Management Systems, you can be sure of complete consistency between what you hear by way of training and what happens in practice in your organisation.

Emphasis on Assurance

Our training, as with all the services we offer, is covered by our Commitment to You statement, which guarantees your satisfaction with the work we do or we don't expect you to pay until we have rectified any shortcomings.
