Our team and history:
A successful business, established in 1994 by Paul Meek a former Operations
Director of an ambulance service. Throughout Paul's career, he was exposed daily
to the consequences of poorly managed risks, and this is what spurred Paul to
establish Solutions Training, he wanted to bridge the visible but avoidable gaps
in risk management and in particular health & safety education and the
development of the equipment used to aid safer transportation of people.
Our team are all members of the “National Back Exchange” and have been
contributors to various working groups on developing good practice since 1995,
including research into “what constitutes effective moving and handling
training” performed by the Ergonomics Department at Loughborough University and
in partnership developed topic-related awards at Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 which are
on the regulated qualifications framework.
We have successfully designed a wide range of training programmes to assist
organisations with managing risk effectively.
Paul and his team's continued vision of improvement to managing risk by
developing people and his operational experience has helped many companies and
individuals improve their knowledge and technical skills, which has proven to
reduce risk in the workplace.
Being at the forefront of its specialist subjects we have designed and
manufactured specialist manual handling equipment to aid moving and handling
tasks, including our unique bariatric carry sheet used by ambulance trusts UK
