We also hold a number of third party approvals which include being an authorised service and training centre for the Scott Health and Safety range of breathing apparatus. This means that on successful completion of training, candidates receive a certificate fully authorised by the manufacturer.
We work to the highest level of quality standards across all of our business and hold a Group-wide ISO 9001:2008 certificate for our integrated management system (quality, health & safety and environmental). This enables us to use group resources to deal with fluctuating demand and short-notice training requirements.
