Key Ostas

KeyOstas is a practitioner-led health and safety training and consultancy provider headquartered at Holywell Business Park in Southam, Warwickshire, with roots going back to 1984 when the company was founded as OSTAS. Following the acquisition of The Key Consultancy in 2011, the combined business became KeyOstas Ltd, bringing together two complementary specialist teams under a single, independent UK SME.

The company is a NEBOSH Gold Learning Partner (provider 009, one of the lowest numbers in the UK), reflecting a long-standing relationship with NEBOSH and consistently above-average pass rates and learner satisfaction scores. It is also approved by IOSH, CITB, ITSSAR, the Safety Pass Alliance, and ISEP, and independently certified to ISO 45001, ISO 14001, and ISO 9001, with all three standards audited annually.

The course portfolio spans the full NEBOSH range from General Certificate through to National Diploma, Fire Safety Certificate, Construction Certificate, and Process Safety Management, alongside IOSH Managing Safely, Working Safely, Leading Safely, and Safety for Executives and Directors. Further specialisms include CITB Site Safety Plus courses, CCNSG Safety Passport, SPA Core, Food and Drink, Petrol and Quarry passport schemes, ISEP environmental qualifications, plant operator training including ITSSAR MEWPs and overhead cranes, and a growing e-learning catalogue. Beyond training, KeyOstas provides a wide consultancy offer covering risk assessments, fire risk assessments, incident investigation, environmental compliance, and tiered retained health and safety management packages at Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum levels.

Trusted by major organisations including Aston Martin, Balfour Beatty, Heineken, Molson Coors, Tata Steel, BAE Systems, Kier, and Morgan Sindall, KeyOstas carries a 4.8-star verified Google rating and generates the majority of its new business through referrals and repeat clients.
