The case in the film is above, with a link to the full record.
Blyth Marble Limited in Larkhall was fined £50,000 after a worker was fatally struck by falling granite slabs. That is a criminal fine. No insurance policy pays it. The same law applies to your workshop. £250,000. The sentencing starting point for the most serious breaches, firms under £2m turnover. If someone dies, the police investigate. The charge can be corporate manslaughter. And a director can go to prison. And if one of your own people is hurt and claims against you, your training records are your defence. No records, no defence.
Slabs move on the forklift and A-frames. Silica dust hangs in the air. Nothing is written down. Then HSE or an auditor asks who is trained. You need the answer on the day.
Against that: up to four of your people assessed for competence in one day, on your own site and machines, with minimum downtime. Plus a written safe-system pack for each topic. PHW trains and assesses your people on your own site and machines: forklift, slab slinging, silica dust, abrasive wheels. Every certificate has a QR code. Scan it for the live record. PHW also writes your slab handling and dust procedures, and keeps a training matrix: gaps and refreshers.
