Develop the Competencies Your People Need to Work Safely
Bespoke Training Solutions
Off-the-shelf e-learning covers the basics well. But when your people need training on a specific task, a particular work environment, or an operational standard unique to your organisation, generic courses fall short. Human Focus Bespoke Training Solutions give you the tools to create, deliver, and manage custom e-learning built around your exact requirements.
Build Bespoke Training That Matches Your Operational Needs
Off-the-shelf e-learning meets many general health and safety requirements, but it cannot cover the task-specific training your employees need to perform their roles safely and effectively. Most organisations also struggle to produce high-quality custom elearning courses that meet their internal standards. Training documentation is often poorly structured for learning, and face-to-face delivery is difficult to manage consistently across teams and locations.
The Human Focus Bespoke Training Solutions address these challenges directly. You get an intuitive course authoring system, Content Builder, which integrates with the Human Focus online training platform for straightforward course publication. The Training Matrix, part of the Training Records Management Module, allows you to track and manage task-specific internal training and ensure all competency requirements are met across your organisation.
You can use this integrated system to convert your existing internal content into bespoke safety training quickly. That way, it’s tailored to your tasks, work sites and standards. You can share these bespoke e-learning courses at scale through our online training platform to ensure that the workforce across all sites and teams can access it with consistency.
Why Your Current Training System Is Holding You Back
Paper-based training materials like policies, operating procedures, and presentations get scattered and become inconsistent over time. Without a centralised system, training quality varies by location or department. Eventually, some workers fall behind and skill gaps widen, increasing the risk of non-compliance.
Many training documents are written by people without expertise in learning design. They may contain accurate operational information, but poor formatting and technical language make them hard to absorb. This leads to poor knowledge retention without the organisation ever knowing it. Upskilling internal staff to fix this is both expensive and slow.
Traditional induction training delivered in person is expensive, and keeping it consistent is a constant struggle. New starters in different locations — or who join at different times — can end up with very different experiences, with no real way to guarantee everyone gets the same standard of instruction.
Manual records are slow, messy, and easy to get wrong — and when they slip, organisations have no reliable way to show their workforce is properly trained. That’s when compliance risk stops being a theoretical concern and starts becoming a real one.
Scheduling clashes and operational pressures make it difficult to attend live training sessions on time. New staff members are likely to miss regular training sessions, and doing face-to-face inductions frequently enough to accommodate a changing workforce is rarely practical.

How Wren Kitchens Have Used This Bespoke Training Module to Improve Safety in Their Organisation
Case Study
Prior to engaging with Human Focus, what challenges did you face when using your Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to train staff and demonstrate competence?
Before using Human Focus, our training process relied entirely on paper-based SOP’s and SWP’s.
This made it difficult to manage and maintain training records, particularly across multiple manufacturing departments and sites. Updating procedures meant reprinting and redistributing documents and it was challenging to ensure employees were always working from the latest version.
Demonstrating competence was also more difficult. While employees signed paper copies to confirm they had completed their training, there was limited visibility of when the training had taken place. How much time had been spent reviewing the procedures or whether the most current version had been used. Retrieving records for audits or investigations was a manual and time-consuming process. Tracking training completion across the workforce required significant administrative effort.
“We chose Human Focus because it provided a flexible solution that met the needs of our manufacturing workforce.”

Standard Operating Procedures Transformed: How an International Appliance Manufacturer Turned Paper-Based Standard Operating Procedures into an Interactive Production Competency System
An international domestic appliance manufacturer faced many challenges with their manufacturing process training. Many of their standard operating procedures (SOPs) were paper-based, making them difficult to access, update, and share across a large workforce. Critical training materials were not presented in a user-friendly, engaging format, making them difficult for employees to understand. Additionally, it was hard to verify which employees had completed the necessary training, creating gaps in competency and potentially risking safety and efficiency on the production line.
To address these challenges, the company partnered with Human Focus to digitise and streamline its internal training system. Using Content Builder, the company was able to transform their paper-based SOPs into interactive, online training. This transformation not only made it easier to access training content, but it also ensured that the material was more engaging and effective, helping workers understand and retain critical information.
The client initially reformatted over 2,000 SOPs into online training content via our “done-for-you” service. This process was fast, efficient, and ensured that all content was properly structured for effective learning. The client’s internal managers were then able to use Content Builder’s simple, intuitive drag-and-drop interface to maintain and update the training content themselves. As production processes evolved, managers could edit the training materials accordingly to ensure they were always accurate and up-to-date.
The training system now delivers these interactive courses to over 3,000 employees across multiple manufacturing plants worldwide. Progress is tracked online to ensure all employees complete the required training and can demonstrate compliance with internal and external standards. Line managers can assign relevant courses to workers when they move to new operational areas, ensuring they’re well-prepared for each task.
To further improve the monitoring of training and competency, supervisors can verify training on the job by scanning QR codes linked to each employee’s Training Passport. In this application, the client added individual QR codes to employee name badges. Managers can quickly and easily assess which employees are fully trained for their specific tasks on the production line. With this simple yet effective tool, the company ensures every worker is fully prepared for their duties, reducing the risk of safety incidents and increasing overall productivity.

Life-Saving Rules Applied: How a National Building Materials Supplier Delivered Consistent Safety Training Across Its Large Workforce Using Content Builder
A leading building materials supplier faced significant challenges in consistently delivering and tracking critical safety training across a large, dispersed workforce.
Training was traditionally conducted in person, which created logistical and tracking issues for their 7,000 employees across 300 locations. It was difficult to ensure everyone received the necessary training and that participation was tracked. “We didn’t have any records – we could not see who had taken the face-to-face training. It was all held locally,” said the client. They faced additional challenges when new employees joined between training rounds, meaning they often missed critical safety instruction.
To address these challenges, the client partnered with Human Focus to rapidly convert their paper-based ‘Life-Saving Rules’ into interactive online training content via our done-for-you service. “What we’ve really improved with Human Focus is that we’ve now built our life-saving rules training online,” said the client. “When individuals come into our business, they can undertake the learning that’s relevant to them, they can see how the material works in their environment, and they get the safety awareness they need on-site.”
The client was also able to track all training progress via the online system, something that wasn’t previously possible for such a large workforce. This provided a clear overview of employee records, allowing managers to identify who had completed their training and who still required it. “Now, through the Human Focus online platform, we can see exactly who’s going through it, whether they passed, and pinpoint our learning needs,” added the client.
This was all delivered as a seamless, end-to-end service, with support from the Human Focus team at every stage. “Working with Human Focus and their learning content team really helped us get this content online quickly, making sure the material is relevant, professionally delivered, and completed within the short timescales we needed,” said the client.

Bespoke Manual Handling Training: Target Specific Risks to Reduce Injuries
Developing custom manual handling training is another common application of the Human Focus Bespoke Online Safety Training Module. For our clients, manual handling remains one of the leading causes of workplace injuries, costing both time and money in lost productivity and compensation.
Traditional, generic training often fails to address the unique risks workers face, leaving gaps in technique and safety, and ultimately leading to more injuries.
By using Content Builder, our clients are able to create tailored manual handling training specific to the tasks their employees perform. This bespoke approach ensures workers are learning the exact techniques they need to stay safe, with training that’s directly relevant to their role and work environment.
Clients benefit from real-time feedback with the AI-powered MMH Ergo Analyser, a manual handling ergonomics postural analyser. Using the integrated Human Focus mobile app, managers can capture video clips of workers performing manual handling tasks and automatically load them to the relevant employee training profile. The MMH Ergo Analyser then assesses the employee’s movements for safety and technique, overlaying a 3D musculoskeletal model on the video to highlight injury risks and demonstrate correct posture. This personalised video is then delivered as a mini e-learning course, providing the employee with near-instant feedback on their technique. Immediate, actionable guidance like this has been proven to have a more meaningful impact on behaviour and help employees retain and apply best practices every day.
Progress can also be tracked over time. Clients can monitor improvements and pinpoint areas where additional training may be required. Managers gain a clearer understanding of how well their teams are performing and can ensure that employees consistently apply safe manual handling techniques.
By leveraging Human Focus for bespoke manual handling training, clients in diverse industries are reducing injuries, improving performance, and fostering a safer working environment for their employees.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Bespoke training solutions are courses and learning programmes built for your organisation alone. They are designed around your procedures, hazards, job roles and site conditions, and can include anything such as task-specific inductions or role-based competency programmes.
Off-the-shelf e-learning is meant to cover as many organisations as possible, which means that it rarely reflects how your business actually operates. Your equipment, your processes, your working environment — none of that is featured in course content. Bespoke e-learning is built around your own content, so workers are trained on what they’ll actually come across in their role, not a watered-down version that could apply to anyone.
The main benefits are relevance, consistency, and control. Training built around your real procedures is far more likely to change behaviour than something generic. Online delivery means every worker gets the same standard of instruction regardless of where they’re based or when they started, and automated records give you auditable evidence of competency when you need it — whether that’s for an inspection, an audit, or an investigation.
Any organisation with operational procedures, site-specific hazards, or role-based requirements that generic training does not cover. It is particularly valuable for manufacturers with complex production processes, construction and facilities management businesses managing site inductions across multiple locations, logistics operators with specific manual handling requirements, and organisations onboarding large numbers of contractors or new starters regularly.
When the task or procedure is specific enough that a generic course will not address the actual risk. If you are relying on face-to-face instruction because nothing available covers your processes, or if you cannot reliably demonstrate worker competency in specific tasks, bespoke elearning development is the practical next step. It is also worth considering when you have a dispersed or high-turnover workforce where consistent delivery is difficult to achieve in person.
Yes. Courses can be made to fulfill the training requirements of specific roles and assigned automatically based on job function, with everything linked to role-specific competencies. This way, your workers complete only the training relevant to their roles, and managers get a clear picture of where each role stands on the Training Matrix.
Yes. The Human Focus platform supports bespoke safety training across a wide range of sectors, including manufacturing, construction, logistics, facilities management, food production, energy, and various other professional services. Your custom course is built to reflect your industry’s actual hazards, regulatory requirements, and working practices.
Yes. Site-specific training is one of the most common ways organisations use our Bespoke Training Solutions. Each training is customised to reflect the layout, hazards, access controls, and emergency procedures at each location. Workers complete the training relevant to where they actually work, learning how to deal with what they’ll find on the ground.
