Notts
For over 120 years, MRS Training & Rescue (formerly known as Mines Rescue
Service), has developed specialist skills, experience and knowledge gained from
working in difficult and potentially dangerous environments, to effect the
rescue and escape of mine workers from underground. However, given the gradual
decline of the coal mines over many years, culminating in the closure of the
last deep coal mine in December 2015, we have been able to expand and diversify
to meet the needs of today’s health and safety market. We have been able to
secure long term success by leveraging our expertise, and have branched out from
underground mining into providing unique rescue services, specialist equipment
(some of which has been designed using practical expertise gathered on the job),
consultancy and a comprehensive range of accredited health and safety related
products, training and services to a wide range of industries, including
nuclear, aerospace, manufacturing and utilities. Training and assessing
customers' employees to safely enter, work and exit from confined spaces, is
offered at all of our eight training centres, and can also be delivered at
customers’ premises by using our mobile rigs. We have been involved with
industry in developing the National Occupational Standards, and all the confined
space suite of qualifications awarded by City & Guilds are available at our
accredited training centres. We have also developed bespoke courses for specific
industries such as the water industry.
