Testimonials

Strathclyde Fire & Rescue
"The expertise and commitment of the Mines Rescue team from Crossgates, Fife was invaluable during the search and rescue phase of the tragic incident at Stockline Plastics, Glasgow.

This has led to the development of a partnership between both organisations to train firefighters in techniques to carry out rescues in collapsed structures.

The knowledge, skills and experience of the Mines Rescue staff provide a much valued resource to enhance the skills and safety of firefighters in the area of Urban Search and Rescue."

"May I take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent first aid refresher course I attended on 17/18 January.

This was my fifth refresher and my third with Mines Rescue.  The course was very well delivered by Sean, the tutor, who made everyone welcome and moulded the group into a supportive team from the word go.

The course can be seen as extremely intensive due to the time constraints placed on it, but there was never any pressure as the information was disseminated in an enthusiastic, light-hearted and structured way that made the two days fly by.  I would recommend Mines Rescue training to anyone."

"I have spoken to everyone who attended the Fire Warden Course.  They all thoroughly enjoyed the course and learned a lot.  They were very impressed by the quality of the tutors and delivery methods."

"It just goes to show that if you want to have advice on a subject such as rescuing in breathing apparatus, then go to the professional people that do it for a living.  Your team’s understanding of the equipment, techniques and human resources was outstanding.  The site at Mansfield is out-of-this-world; you have it set up for any scenario that you wish.  I think they learnt a lot while they were there and certainly feel more comfortable in their equipment and techniques that they can now use.  Once again, thank you, keep up the good work and I hope we meet up again in the near future.  I shall certainly put in my recommendation for more work from yourselves for us.  Brilliant and first class."

Concrete Products (Porthcawl) Ltd
"With regards to the first aid training course that was attended recently by two of our employees.  Both employees found the course very difficult and intense, however they both expressed that they thoroughly enjoyed the course and feel that they have both benefited from it.

I personally complete the course with two other colleagues 18 months ago and can reflect that they course was very intense, however, it was very professionally conducted and in a manner where everyone was greatly involved and was able to absorb all the main attributes required to be a first aid.  Since the course, we unfortunately have had three major accidents in our work place, and in each incident the first aiders on the scene acted quickly and carried out emergency first aid with confidence.  This was only possible thanks to the training that was received by yourselves, and the way the first aiders conducted themselves in an emergency situation, can only reflect on the thoroughness of your training and the ability of your instructors to put so much detail across to their students."

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mines Rescue (Rawdon) for an enjoyable first rate course.

I have just completed a First Aid at Work course, and although it was intense, Andrew the instructor was outstanding in helping the class feel confident and relaxed for the exam.

The level of professionalism and the friendly staff at Rawdon really made me feel comfortable in what could have been a very stressful situation.

Once again may I say a "BIG THANK YOU TO THE RAWDON TEAM MEMBERS."
