The Brigade carries out commercial and industrial training throughout the county. This training ranges from Basic Fire Extinguisher courses to staff training in many varied employment's. During 1998-1999, due to the hard endeavours of our staff, we secured a contract to provide training to the sea fishing industry covering firefighting and general safety aboard fishing vessels. We are sure that our training will lead to a safe working environment within our community reducing fires, injuries and financial losses.
Training can take place at places of work or at a fire station.
The Brigade has pursued a policy of ensuring that businesses achieve compliance with legislative requirements, by providing advice and guidance on all Fire Safety related matters. We can give training to employers on how to carry out Workplace Risk Assessments for fire safety, and we act as advisers on fire safety matters to such bodies as Licensing Justices, Social Services, District Councils etc.
