Comprehensive solutions for high-risk environments with expert consultancy, specialist training, and safety equipment
Training Isn’t a One-Off—It’s an Ongoing Commitment
Completing a training course is a significant step, but it’s just the beginning. Without regular reinforcement, even the most comprehensive training can fade over time. Known as “skills fade,” can compromise safety, efficiency, and compliance.
We recognise that maintaining proficiency requires more than initial instruction. That’s why we offer a suite of tools and services designed to keep your team’s skills sharp and up-to-date.
Understanding Skills Fade
Skills fade refers to the gradual loss of ability or knowledge when skills aren’t regularly practiced or refreshed. In high-risk industries, this can lead to serious safety incidents.
Research indicates that without reinforcement, individuals can forget up to 90% of what they’ve learned within a month. This underscores the importance of continuous learning and practice.
REAX Solutions to Combat Skills Fade
1. Check Cards: Your On-the-Job Reference
Our durable, pocket-sized Working at Height and Confined Space check cards serve as quick-reference guides, ensuring that critical safety procedures are always at hand. They’re designed to reinforce training and support decision-making in the field.
2. Premium Content Hub: Continuous Learning at Your Fingertips
Our Premium Content Hub offers a growing library of videos and resources that reinforce key lessons and introduce new best practices. It’s an excellent tool for ongoing professional development and team-wide refreshers.
3. Centralised Training Records: Stay Organised and Compliant
Managing training records can be a daunting task. Our centralised system keeps all your training records, certificates, and expiry reminders in one place, ensuring that you never miss a renewal and remain compliant with industry standards.
Why Ongoing Support Matters
Continuous reinforcement of training is not just about compliance; it’s about creating a culture of safety and excellence. Regular refreshers help employees retain critical information, adapt to new challenges, and perform their duties with confidence.
By investing in ongoing support, you’re not only protecting your team but also enhancing overall operational efficiency.

A safety helmet is more than just a hard shell—it’s a crucial piece of protective equipment that can be adapted to different environments and working conditions. Whether you’re working in construction, industrial climbing, technical rescue, or an extreme weather environment, customising your helmet with the right accessories ensures maximum safety, comfort, and functionality.
Why Proper Helmet Accessories Matter
Safety helmets are designed to protect against impact, falling objects, and environmental hazards, but the right accessories can enhance their effectiveness.
However, using incorrect or non-certified attachments—like wearing a beanie or balaclava under your helmet—can compromise protection, increasing the risk of injury. That’s why it’s essential to use approved accessories that meet the same safety standards as your helmet.
