Our Water Safety training course is for workers involved in working in or near water in a non-rescue capability and can be tailored to your requirements.
Water safety in the workplace often slips through the cracks when organisations and companies are often focused on managing risks such as First Aid, Fire Prevention, Manual Handling and Safe Working at Height.
According to HSE guidelines, accidental drowning often happens because of unavailability of personal buoyancy equipment, buoyancy equipment failures caused by lack of maintenance, testing and training, disregard for, or misjudging, a water hazard, lack of supervision, panicking – the inability to handle a water emergency and failure to consider weather warnings.
Water – whether it’s in the form of rain, a leak, or a collection point – is an unpredictable natural element. Even a small amount such as a puddle can hold safety risks.
Our training course is delivered by experienced professionals and industry specialists and Can take place at our dedicated facility in West Sussex, or at you place of work.
