Equipping employees with the knowledge that they will need to work safely with and around hydrogen, the five-day course, delivered across two units to delegates, focused on hydrogen fundamentals (three modules) and hydrogen safety (four modules).
Following the sessions, delegates were asked to complete a final, end-of-course assessment before receiving the Level 3 qualification in hydrogen safety practices.
Green Energy Partnerships Director at Hydrogen Safe, Elizabeth Simon, comments: “We know how important it is for businesses to understand clean energy and the impact that it will have as occupational profiles change.
“Through this training, Marshall Group is ensuring that its workforce is equipped for the future. Working together, employees now have a greater understanding of hydrogen, so that they can identify good practice when working with and around the gas.
“We hope that other engineering and technology businesses will follow Marshall Group’s example, recognizing that change is inevitable and that putting the foundations in place will create more opportunity as we transition to sustainable ways of working.”
Jonathan Burnip, Chief Technology Officer for Marshall Aero Engineering Services, comments: “This training is a further commitment to our people, providing them with the knowledge they will need to better understand hydrogen and how it could impact on their careers.
“Safety is at the heart of our work, and having the Level 3 qualification paves the way for change, knowing that we will all need to adopt and adapt to new ways of working as we embrace clean energy.”
