IOSH Managing Safely (Rochester)

Initially established to respond to the growing global threat from terrorism and criminal acts, our core business focused on Security and Explosives. This included Counter Terrorist Search and Improvised Explosive Device Disposal, as well as Threat and Vulnerability Assessments.

We have been instrumental in the development of National Occupational Standards for personnel employed in the area of Search and/or Munition Clearance. Our Managing Director is a member of the Standards Setting Body for Explosives Munitions and Search Occupations (EMSO), and in 2004 we became the first civilian training organisation in the world to be accredited by 3 of the United Kingdom’s Awarding Bodies, for the delivery of Academic/Vocational Qualifications in Munitions Clearance and Search Occupations.

As our client base has grown and whilst remaining true to our original ethos of providing “a Safe and Secure Place for People to Live and Work,” we have expanded our core business to include some of the more mundane, but never-the-less important, day-to-day activities that keep us safe – many of which are required under the growing legislative safety requirements; First Aid, Fire Safety and Health, Safety and Environmental training, consultancy and equipment procurement.

One of our first major undertakings and successes was the design and delivery of a specialist security training course focusing on the detection of improvised explosive devices (IED’s) for a major UK Nuclear energy provider.

This short one day course was accredited by the Awarding bodies and has now been delivered to hundreds of security personnel.
