BUSINESSES can get subsidised health and safety training at a special course being run by South Oxfordshire District Council at its HQ in Crowmarsh on Thursday, February 14.

The course covers risk assessment, manual handling, working at height and workplace transport and costs £19 per head.

David Dodds, cabinet member for environmental services, said: "Effective health and safety management helps reduce the unacceptable toll of suffering that accidents and ill health bring."
