During National Apprenticeship Week (6-12 February), leading hygiene services provider, phs Group, announces it has shared over £85,000 in vital funding with small businesses to offer apprenticeship opportunities. phs has over 100 colleagues on apprenticeship programmes but has also been supporting an array of companies by transferring funds under the apprenticeship levy it pays the Government, to help them train and upskill their own staff, which they would otherwise be unable to do.
One of the UK’s leading PPE providers is warning businesses about a worrying rise in the number of employees taking their technical workwear home to be washed. phs Besafe, which offers specialist protective workwear and industrial laundry services, is seeing increasing reports of PPE being cleaned at home, in many cases along with family clothing and bedding. “Not only is this dangerous for the employee and others that live with them, but it also poses a major risk to the business who have a legal responsibility to ensure that the PPE provided is cared for, maintained and fit for purpose,” said Derek Brown, Managing Director of phs Besafe.
