Build Resilient Teams with Construction Health and Safety Speaker Kate Cook

Kate's training is designed to align with HSE Management Standards for work-related stress, CDM 2015 psychosocial hazard requirements, and broader duty of care obligations—but the focus is on genuinely helping your teams, not just creating paperwork. The programs address all six HSE Management Standards (demands, control, support, relationships, role, change) through practical tools that workers and managers can actually use. You receive comprehensive documentation—attendance records, training certificates, outcome measurements, management reports—that demonstrates active implementation of duty of care. This documentation supports HSE inspections, client audits, and tender submissions. But more importantly, it's evidence of genuine support that makes a real difference to your teams' wellbeing and performance. Compliance happens naturally when you focus on what actually matters.

Yes. Kate's training complements CSCS by addressing the human factors that determine whether workers can consistently apply their technical safety knowledge under real-world pressures. CSCS ensures technical competence; Kate's training ensures workers have the energy, focus, and mental resilience to use that competence effectively throughout demanding shifts. The training can be integrated into site inductions, delivered as CPD, or provided as standalone programs. Participants receive certificates for their training records, and for your organization, it demonstrates commitment to comprehensive worker development—something that increasingly differentiates you in tender processes.

Absolutely, and on-site delivery often works best. Kate has extensive experience working in construction site environments and understands the practical constraints involved. On-site delivery means minimal disruption—no travel time for workers, training scheduled around shift patterns and project activities, and Kate can reference your specific site conditions to make the content even more relevant. Kate works with you to identify suitable spaces (site offices, canteens, training areas) and brings all necessary materials. Alternatively, training can be delivered at your offices, external facilities, or in hybrid formats—whatever works best for your operations.

It depends on the package and your specific needs. The Fuel package typically involves half-day (3-4 hours) or full-day (6-7 hours) sessions. The Ignite package usually comprises 2-3 days of training spread across multiple sessions. The Energise package is more extensive, potentially spanning several weeks or months with ongoing support. All programs are designed with construction realities in mind. Sessions can be broken into shorter modules to fit shift patterns, delivered across multiple dates to maintain site coverage, or concentrated into intensive training days. Kate works with you to develop a schedule that delivers maximum impact while respecting operational constraints.

All packages include comprehensive documentation that serves both practical and compliance purposes. You receive participant attendance records, individual training certificates, training content summaries, and post-training support materials. Higher-tier packages (Ignite and Energise) additionally include detailed outcome measurement reports, management summaries, and evidence packages ready for HSE inspections, client audits, or tender submissions. This documentation demonstrates active implementation of duty of care—not just policies, but actual programs with measurable outcomes. It supports your compliance requirements while evidencing genuine organizational commitment to worker wellbeing.

Organisations working with Kate typically see improvements across multiple areas: better focus and decision-making during critical tasks, reduced fatigue-related incidents, fewer stress-related absences, improved team morale and retention, and stronger safety culture with genuine engagement rather than box-ticking. The specific outcomes depend on your starting point and the package you choose, but the common thread is that when people feel physically and mentally well, everything improves. Kate provides measurement frameworks to track outcomes relevant to your priorities.
