improving safety and reducing
workplace injuries.
Beyond Compliance: Building Safer Teams and a Stronger Business.
Keeping your team safe at work isn’t just about ticking boxes—it’s about making a real difference. Many training courses focus on compliance but don’t give employees the practical skills they need to stay safe every day.
At OFI, we do things differently. Our hands-on training, led by expert physiotherapists and osteopaths, gives your team the know-how to move safely, prevent injuries, and keep your business running smoothly.


OFI are not your average H&S training provider.
