Salus Training Services

What Salus Training Services does

Salus Training Services is an Irish private health and safety training company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Rathcoole, Dublin. It delivers a portfolio of accredited courses spanning construction safety (Safe Pass, CSCS scaffolding and underground services), working-at-heights and equipment operation (IPAF MEWP, Lorry Mounted Crane, Confined Space), Lantra-certified specialist curricula (Traffic Management Design, Advanced Underground Protection, Safe Loading & Unloading, Securing of Loads), IOSH construction site management, and Chemical Awareness. Course durations range from one day to four weeks, with individual pricing between €140 and €650 per person. The company is accredited as an Approved Training Organisation by Lantra, IPAF, Solas/QQI and IOSH, and is a member of IIRSM and ROSPA.

The company monetizes training through fee-for-service course delivery across three channels: classroom-based instruction at its Dublin facilities (Rathcoole, Blanchardstown and Cabra), onsite corporate training, and a self-serve online delivery model supported by its website booking system and the mycourseco iOS app. It also offers a consultancy arm providing PSCS and PSDP roles, site audits, safety statements, method statements and toolbox talks. Technology assets are modest but fit-for-purpose: an online booking and calendar platform, payment processing for PAYG and pre-pay options, MAC500 air purification and ATP testing equipment in physical classrooms, and a branded mobile application — none of which constitute proprietary technology differentiators.

Customer segments are dominated by Irish construction workers and construction/utilities companies, including named enterprise clients such as Balfour Beatty CLG, Actavo Network & In Home, Road Control, GPX Rail, Al Reads Electrical, and Nolan Civil Engineering. Operating geographies are concentrated in the Dublin region for classroom training and nationwide for online delivery. The company is family-owned, with Tom Browne serving as Managing Director and Danielle Browne as Accounts Manager, and relies on subcontractor trainers in addition to a small core team.

Broad incumbents

• SOLAS: Irish state further education and training authority that accredits and itself delivers Safe Pass, CSCS and QQI/FETAC programmes. Directly comparable because it operates in the same regulated training space Salus serves, though at much larger scale and as a state actor.
• CITB (Construction Industry Training Board): UK statutory training board for the construction industry, running grant-funded training schemes and Site Safety Plus/SMSTS courses. Comparable because it operates in the same regulated construction-safety training category, though UK-focused.

Regional players

• Construction Industry Federation (CIF): Irish construction industry representative body that runs its own training, CPD and safety programmes for member firms. Comparable because it serves the same Irish construction-employer base Salus targets, though primarily as an industry association rather than a commercial training provider.

Others

• Lantra Awards: UK and Ireland-based awarding body that accredits Salus's Lantra-branded courses (Traffic Management Design, Advanced Underground Protection, Safe Loading/Unloading). Comparable as a dual competitor/partner because Lantra also licenses training delivery through other ATOs.
• CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme): UK-wide card scheme that issues the CSCS cards issued through Salus's CSCS-aligned courses. Comparable as a scheme owner that interfaces with the same construction-worker certification workflow Salus depends on for course demand.
• IPAF (International Powered Access Federation): International accrediting body for Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) operator training. Comparable because IPAF certifies Salus to deliver IPAF MEWP courses and the same IPAF card is delivered through competing Irish training centres.
• IOSH (Institution of Occupational Safety and Health): Global professional body that accredits Salus as an Approved Training Organisation for IOSH courses. Comparable because IOSH itself offers IOSH-accredited safety training and certifications through its own network, competing for the same IOSH course enrolments.
• NASC (National Access and Scaffolding Confederation): UK trade body for scaffolding contractors that sets standards and accredits scaffolding training. Comparable because NASC-linked training schemes (CISRS) overlap directly with Salus's CSCS Basic/Advanced Scaffold courses.

Direct peers

• St John Ambulance Ireland: Irish first-aid and workplace safety training provider. Comparable because it offers adjacent workplace safety and first-aid certification courses to the same Irish employer audience Salus serves, including regulated mandatory training.
• British Safety Council: UK-based chartered membership body delivering accredited health and safety training and qualifications (including IOSH and NEBOSH). Comparable because it competes for the same IOSH-direct and accredited safety training enrolments, particularly for Irish enterprise customers seeking UK-recognised certifications.
