Fire and Rescue Service now offer training courses for all businesses
“Few providers in the county can match the experience, knowledge and resources behind Warwickshire Fire and Rescue’s new training services.”
That is a bold statement, but one behind which Fire and Rescue Service Partnership training manager Dave Carter firmly stands.
And all businesses can now take advantage of that Fire and Rescue expertise with the service's training skills out in the market place on a not-for-profit basis with any funds generated going back into delivering and improving services for the public.
It is an increasingly common example of a public service using commercial nous to get more out of its existing assets, skills, and knowledge.
After all, who better to train staff in fire safety than the people who last year attended 825 fire related incidents and advised over 670 businesses?
Warwickshire fire and Rescue Service (WFRS) already count among their clients:
The service's expertise stretches far beyond fire-safety. As well as annual fire warden, fire awareness and fire risk assessments – which are required by law – WFRS are also providing courses for
- First aid/refresher training, emergency first aid and first person on scene
- Category B+E towing courses
- Manual handling, working at height, water awareness
- National Examination Board in Occupational Health and safety (NEBOSH)
- Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH)
