"An accident prevented is a blessing.
An accident compensated is, in fact, an apology.
You should not be in the apology business."
Meet Niall
I’ve spent my career at the intersection of health, safety, and performance. With a degree in Sports Science & Physical Therapy and an Honours Degree in Health & Safety Management, I understand both how the body works and the systems that keep workplaces safe.
Over the past 15+ years I’ve worked as a coach and in hands-on roles across pharma, food production, and manufacturing. Those environments taught me the realities of safety: The pressures on teams, the risks on the floor, and the need for training that people can actually use.
That’s why I started Core Safety Training: to deliver safety training that’s clear, practical, and built for real workplaces. My sessions are designed to give people not just the what but the why, so safety becomes part of how they move, work, and think every day.
When I’m not delivering training, I also work with businesses on safety statements, audits, and consultancy — helping teams strengthen their safety culture and protect their people.
Who We Are &
Why We Do It
Core Safety Training delivers practical, no-nonsense workplace safety training that makes sense to the people doing the work. We know safety isn’t just about ticking boxes . It’s about protecting your body, your team, and your business.
Founded by Niall Toher, a qualified Health & Safety specialist with a background in Sports Science and Physical Therapy, we combine movement science with real-world industry experience. Years spent on the floor in pharma, food production, and heavy industry mean Niall brings more than compliance — he brings a deep understanding of how the body works and how to keep it safe.
