AwardsNational Training Award
We are immensely proud that both W2 and our clients have won awards in recognition of the difference our training and coaching have made to their improved performance. This award was received jointly by W2 and Amec for the training programme FIRST Step ™ and the improvement it helped to deliver in Safety Performance and Responsibility for Safety. Over 4000 people attended and benefited from this course which energised people to grow a culture of safety leadership and taking personal responsibility for safety. 'Leadership is absolutely vital in achieving excellent safety performance. The "FIRST Step™" course has been hugely influential in developing the skills of our safety leaders and in facilitating a shift in culture. In our Rail business, accident rates have reduced by 40% since the introduction of the course and AMEC has reduced UK accident rates by two-thirds in the last 4 years. Feedback from delegates attending FIRST Step has been extremely positive with numerous examples of how they have applied their learning in practice. That is the strength of FIRST Step - it is not an academic exercise, but provides practical tools for clear safety leadership that actually result in changed behaviour' Director HSE

Managing Director’s Safety Award
The message and branding of Safety Through Everyone’s Participation is “sticky” which makes it memorable. Many of the 4,500 people trained, carry their footprints to the next project wherever they are in the world. Managers have said that you can tell a “FIRST Stepper” in the way they conduct themselves. The logo, language, skills and tools of STEP 1 are embedded into the fabric of their companies.

'Just a quick note to express my thanks to the Marathon Management for allowing me to attend this course I thoroughly enjoyed the course and thought it was one of the best on this subject that I have attended. The Group I was with was excellent and the W2 trainers were first class. I was certainly energised by the content and hope that it brings the improvements that Marathon are looking for.'
