We are delighted to announce that All Star Safety Ltd has received support through the Suffolk Economy Grant Scheme, funded by Suffolk County Council. This funding has played a key role in helping us to expand our training and support services, making health and safety learning more accessible, engaging and effective for our customers.
With this support, we have been able to achieve three major developments:
Level 6 NVQ Construction Site Management Support Package
One of the key areas of development has been the creation of a comprehensive online support package for our Level 6 NVQ Diploma in Construction Site Management learners, delivered through our Moodle learning management system.
The package has been designed to give candidates the knowledge and understanding required to meet the demands of the qualification. It also helps them clearly understand what is expected of them, guiding them step by step through the process. Many learners can feel held back by the written knowledge questions, and this new support tool provides explanations, guidance, and practical examples to help them successfully complete their evidence and progress in their careers.
IOSH Managing Safely E-Learning
We have also used the funding to purchase licensing for IOSH Managing Safely, which we have now developed into an e-learning version. This exciting new addition allows learners to access the internationally recognised IOSH course in a flexible and interactive format, complementing our other classroom-based delivery of IOSH Managing Safely and IOSH Working Safely.
This forms part of our wider suite of training courses, which also includes First Aid, NPORS Plant Training, Small Equipment Training, our broad range of NVQs, and tailored Health and Safety Consultancy services. The investment in e-learning gives us a foundation for creating more innovative training solutions in the future, blending classroom, practical and online methods to ensure every learner has access to the training they need in the way that suits them best.
Investing in Equipment for Quality Delivery
To ensure our training resources are of the highest quality, we have also invested in new camera and audio equipment. This means our online materials, e-learning content, and virtual classroom sessions are clear, professional, and effective.
Part of this content, produced in collaboration with our valued industry partners such as AD Bly, Walkers Construction, Advanced Metalcraft and others, will take the form of interactive digital toolbox talks. These will support supervisors and managers in delivering toolbox briefings that are informative, memorable, and impactful, helping to maintain and continuously improve safety standards across the sector.
This project is part-funded by Suffolk County Council by way of the Suffolk Economy Grant programme .
We are proud to acknowledge the role that Suffolk County Council and the Suffolk Economy Grant Scheme have played in helping us to take these important steps. This support has not only helped us to strengthen our current training offer, but also marks the first stage in a larger project to create a range of exciting and engaging e-learning packages. These will further support our customers in maintaining the highest standards of health and safety within their teams and workplaces.

New Regulatory Agenda Highlights Health Concerns and Regulatory Updates
At its Autumn 2025 AGM, the Health and Safety Executive unveiled key priorities: a sharper focus on work‑related ill health (particularly stress, respiratory and musculoskeletal illnesses), a planned overhaul of RIDDOR reporting, and a review of its Fee for Intervention (FFI) enforcement scheme. These reforms coincide with the Building Safety Regulator’s transition into a standalone body, ensuring enforcement remains proportionate yet effective .
Why These Updates Matter to Construction Employers
While major incidents often attract attention, occupational ill health now accounts for a far higher cost—estimated at £1.4 billion per year—impacting productivity, morale and legal obligations . Construction workers continue to face risks from dust exposure, vibration tools, manual handling, hearing loss and stress-related injuries.
Changes in reporting under Revised RIDDOR guidance aim to simplify submission processes, but also clarify responsibilities when ill health is suspected on site.
FFI reviews may adjust enforcement expectations, meaning businesses will need strong records and clearly demonstrable systems to maintain fair fees and inspection outcomes.
How All Star Safety Supports Health‑First Construction Practices
At All Star Safety Ltd, we support clients by embedding a preventive focus, enhancing competence and aligning your operations with evolving regulator expectations:
-
Health‑Risk Consultancy & Surveys
We carry out health risk assessments targeting dust, vibration, manual handling, and psychosocial hazards—helping mitigate long‑term ill health risks.
-
Site Toolbox Briefings & Training
Practical talks addressing safe systems—manual handling techniques, fatigue management, early reporting of ill‑health signs, and hearing protection.
-
NVQ Qualifications (Levels 2–7)
Our programmes equip supervisors and managers with capability in hazard control, workforce welfare and compliant documentation.
-
IOSH Courses from September 2025
Working Safely, Managing Safely (classroom/virtual) and Managing Safely e‑learning all include updated modules on ill‑health prevention, stress management, and RIDDOR compliance.
-
NPORS Plant & Supervisor Training
Our plant training reinforces correct use of equipment to avoid vibration, ergonomic strain and exposure-inflicted health issues.
-
First Aid at Work with Wellbeing Focus
First Aid courses now incorporate recognition of occupational illness symptoms and safe referral pathways for early intervention.
What You Should Do Now
-
Review your health-risk assessments and toolbox talk schedules to address long-term ill health

Identify roles suitable for NVQ or upcoming IOSH training, focusing on supervisors and site leaders
-
Audit your RIDDOR procedures, ensuring clarity on illness reporting channels as revised guidance takes effect
-
Document workplace controls and health measures to support fair FFI outcomes and inspection readiness
