Safety is a vital part of all our work and when you absolutely must know what to do, because life depends on it, we’re here to help you. We can help to guide you through all of the legislation you need to know and help you to choose the right solution for the job. We understand how important it is to give accurate, expert advice. After all, poor advice leads to wrong work methods and poor equipment selection which could be potentially dangerous.

We specialise in providing safe solutions for work tasks. At Leading Edge we believe that special consideration and thought needs to be given to the demanding nature of the environment and worker competency, leading to a safer work place.

Leading Edge Testimonials

Leading Edge have completed a number of Level 1, Construction Worker Pass courses on my present project in Whitehall. The courses have been well organised, clear and concise. Most importantly all the attendees from both Kier Build and our sub-contractors have complimented the course and have been amazed at how much they have learnt. We are now organising Site Management courses.

Louisa Finlay

Project Manager - Kier Build

McDermott Brothers were probably the first reinforced concrete frame contractor to endorse the use of the Edge System and train all managers, supervisors and operatives who work at height in Leading Edges' 'Restraint System' of work. Feedback from operatives and supervisors has been extremely positive and the change in working practices has been enthusiastically adopted. Operatives have made comments such as "The best course I have been on in a long time" and "I thought I knew all about working at height, but I have learnt a lot more today".

Colin Stokes

Group Safety Manager - McDermott Bros

Having sat through the course twice now, I believe that the Working at Heightcourse offered by Leading Edge Supplies, is a superb training package. Operatives who have been through the training, all commentedon how much they had learnt and how useful the knowledge would be in the future. I would recommend it to any person involved in working at height, when the absolute last resort of fall restraint or fall arrest is required.

Ralph Ashwood

Safety Manager - Wates Group Services

Leading Edge deliver training in an extremely vibrant way. The content is enlightening, easily absorbed, and perhaps most importantly, adopted by the participants who leave willing to adopt better practice and fresh thinking into their work methods. More understanding of restraint issues should realise an improved safety performance in the industry.

Company Safety Manager - Shepherd Construction Ltd

Faram Limited and the Swiss-RE Project Team wish to express our thanks to Leading Edge for accommodating us at such short notice, especially the large numbers of personnel involved and the logistical difficulties of setting up the training on site.

The scope of works required our operatives to work at height, close to an unguarded edge - six lightwells per floor, twenty one floors in total. Hence, 126 leading edges. This work is outside our normal operations and as such presented our operatives with a challenge both in mind and body. Both managers and operatives found the training course to be informative and well balanced.

The training was relevant to the challenges faced on site and presented such that it was not condescending to the audience.

The success of this course can be measured by the response of our operatives to the operations that immediately followed the training course. All trained operatives were able to work with confidence, showed a thorough understanding of the course and were able to exercise a degree of control that ensured a high level of personal safety and those of other trade contractors.
The operations were successfully completed without incident or interruption.
A complete success.

Graham Collins

Project Manager - Swiss-RE
