Every business should have an emergency response Team (ERT) with voluntary members and obligatory members from the Security, Safety and Fire departments.

We all know no emergency occurs at the best times but with targeted training, drills, and the right equipment  we can prepare your team to handle any incidents that may occur on your site.
Call today to discuss how you can benefit from having a ERT team that will give you and your business the protection and confidence you deserve.

With over 150 trained traffic Safety operatives, we have a track record in designing training modules for  Site Traffic systems that equips the team with the necessary skills to identify, eliminate, contain, manage and escalate any hazards from your site traffic processes.

We guide you through the process of implementation after the training and give you all the support you may need from risk assessments, work gear, process documentations, site plan layout etc.


If you decide to contract out the traffic management of your site, we offer the best value without any trade off in standard or competence.

This training is mandatory for all ERT, Safety, and Fire Team members. It allows them a coordinated ‘reactive’ approach to any Fire incidence both false and actual.

We can also tailor the training to capture any peculiarities on your site or in your processes to give maximum impact to your team.

With or without structured teams in place, it is highly recommended that this training is giving to a few members of your team as a minimum skill required in fire emergencies and fire risk assessment.
