Bonfire Night is all about fun, but staying safe is what makes the memories last. 🎆 🔥

With crowds, fireworks and open flames, accidents can happen in seconds - that’s where having Emergency First Aid skills can make all the difference.

Knowing how to stay calm, respond quickly, and give immediate care could help someone when it matters most.

Stay safe, look out for each other, and enjoy the night responsibly.

⭐ Keep your distance

⭐ Never return to a lit firework

⭐ Know the basics - it could save a life

For information about how first aid training can be useful not only in the workplace but also in social situations like this, contact the team at Up To Speed:

Yesterday saw another ‘Wellbeing Wednesday’ for us.

We took time out as a team to explore ‘My Working Day’ - the new wellbeing and feedback platform that lets everyone share how they’re feeling (anonymously or visibly) with just a tap of an emoji. 🙂 There’s also the option to elaborate, if you wish to.

We’ve implemented this across the business to further support the wellbeing of our workforce.

For the team, it offers a quick and easy way to provide honest feedback. For the business, it gives real-time insights to help us support our people and track trends over time.

We rounded the day off with a great team lunch and a catch-up away from the work environment - the perfect balance of connection and good conversation 💬

Today marks World Mental Health Day - a reminder of how important it is to look after our mental wellbeing and to create supportive environments where everyone feels valued, understood, and heard.

At Up To Speed Training, mental health isn’t just a conversation for one day a year - it’s something we continue to prioritise throughout the business.

We’re proud to have three qualified Mental Health First Aiders across all levels of our organisation, ensuring that support is always available when it’s needed most.

We also regularly run our ‘Wellbeing Wednesday’ initiative - a chance for the team to step away from the day-to-day, spend time together, and focus on connection, balance, and wellbeing.

Our next session takes place on October 29th, and we can’t wait to get the team together once again.

Update from the National Highway Sector Scheme (NHSS) Committee – Gate Person Airlock Installer / Operator Training Course

As of today, 1st October 2025, the Gate Person Airlock Installer / Operator Training Course is now a mandatory requirement for NHSS12D works.

This update follows its earlier introduction within NHSS12AB and marks a significant step in strengthening site safety standards and ensuring consistency across NHSS12 traffic management operations.

Key Points to Note:
• The Gate Person role is separate and distinct from the NHSS12D General Operative.
• All individuals undertaking this role must now hold the dedicated qualification.
• Organisations are responsible for ensuring compliance with this update to the Sector Scheme requirements.

At Up To Speed Training, we’re fully equipped to support you in staying compliant, qualified and ready for site work under the new requirements.

To view available course dates and secure places for you / your workforce, please visit our website via the link below:
