Today’s Fire Safety course came with a bit of unintended irony…

The fire exit in the training room was completely blocked with stacked chairs, ladders and general clutter — and on top of that, there was no illuminated fire exit sign above the door, to be sorted.
A proper escape route needs to be clear, accessible and clearly marked at all times.

Once it was pointed out, the business removed the clutter immediately
Most blocked exits aren’t deliberate , it’s just things slowly getting put in “temporary” spots until someone steps back and sees the bigger risk.

This is exactly why fire safety training — and proper Fire Risk Assessments — are so important.
A few small changes can make a massive difference in a real emergency.

If your business needs Fire Safety Training, Fire Marshal Training or Fire Risk Assessments across Widnes, Cheshire and the North West, get in touch.

Celebrating my 8th year on Facebook. Thank you for your continuing support. I could never have made it without you. 🙏🤗🎉

8 years on… and what a journey it’s been.

OHSS – Occupational Health & Safety Solutions has gone from strength to strength, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve built. None of it happens without the trust of our returning clients, so a huge thank you to every single business that continues to put their confidence in us year after year.

And of course… the biggest thank you goes to my beautiful, supportive wife, Lisa Claydon. She’s the one who keeps me (and the business!) on track. Without her, I wouldn’t be anywhere near as successful as I’ve been fortunate enough to be over these last 8 years.

Fingers crossed the momentum keeps rolling.

With 2026 fast approaching, the calendar is already starting to fill up. If your business needs Health & Safety training or consultancy, we’re always ready to help.

Dreams do come true… but you’ve got to believe in them and work incredibly hard for them. 👍

P.S. Poppy Claydon no longer works for OHSS after a dispute over payment… plus she’s now at big school. 🤣😂
Amazing what a difference 8 years makes — and we’re still going strong.

3-Day First Aid at Work – Widnes

Just finished a great 3-day First Aid at Work course in Widnes. Cracking group, full effort, plenty of laughs.

The feedback’s been spot on — “excellent course”, “fantastic teacher”, “delivered with humour and just the right amount of practical”. Comments like that genuinely keep me pushing to deliver no-nonsense, real-world training that sticks.

Well done to everyone who earned their certificates.

If your team needs accredited first aid training, now’s a good time to get your dates booked in.

This really put a smile on my face today.

I have been sat writing responses to my Google Business reviews and reflecting on the past seven years in business. I am not only over the moon with the Google reviews, but also the kind feedback written on the feedback forms after every course. It means a lot more than people realise.

132 Google reviews. 130 five stars. A perfect 5.0 rating.
Not bad for a small family run business where the trainer (me) mixes real experience with a bit of humour to keep people engaged while learning how to stay safe.

Even the two four star reviews were positive. You can’t please everyone, but that record will do nicely.

Staying focused and motivated can be tough at times, and I am the first to admit that. But I never want to let a client or a learner down. Touch wood, I haven’t yet.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave a review. Your words keep me motivated, keep the energy up and push me to keep raising standards.

We are already taking bookings for 2026 because people want training that is straight talking and backed by real hands on experience, not just theory.
If you want high quality training with a bit of personality, now is a good time to get your dates locked in. Contact us any time to check availability or reserve your preferred dates.

All The Best, Brian

Fire Safety in Practice – or Not Quite!

While delivering a Fire Safety course today, I couldn’t help but notice this — a clearly marked fire exit completely blocked by stacked chairs and a ladder.

It’s a reminder that fire safety isn’t just about ticking boxes or attending training sessions — it’s about applying those lessons every single day. A blocked exit could cost valuable seconds in an emergency.

Regular checks, clear escape routes, and a good safety culture make all the difference.
Sometimes the biggest risks aren’t hidden — they’re right in front of us.
