Water safety training is designed to ensure the safety of all employees who are at risk of injury, illness or drowning as a result of working in, on or near water. It will equip them with the skills to recognise the risks and control them, and what to do in an emergency. We currently require approximately 50 courses to be delivered per year, although the exact demand will fluctuate depending on business need.
