We asked Trevor Arnold ESM, our General Manager Operations, to discuss his passion for public safety training and what sets our group apart. Here’s what he had to say: What inspired you to focus on public safety training? “Public safety training is critical to our society’s structure. It ensures that people can prevent or be better prepared for emergencies. My background in rescue, medical, and aviation allows me to reflect real-world training and make participants job-ready.” What types of courses do you offer? “We provide a wide range of courses in both simulated and real environments, making our training as realistic as possible to ensure everyone is well prepared.” How does your experience influence your training methodologies? “As a veteran-owned organisation, my 35+ years of frontline emergency service experience shape our philosophy: ‘do it once and do it right.’ We embed skills in muscle memory so they can be recalled when needed most. Many of our students now occupy high ranking positions in the skills that we have been part of teaching. "A great feeling". What sets Public Safety Training and Response Group apart from other providers? “Our trainers have real-world experience beyond just books. We combine the latest techniques with state-of-the-art facilities, ensuring the best experience for our students. Our team also regularly travel the world researching best practice and learning from some of the latest developments that often take longer to filter down to Australia.” How do you ensure your training remains current? “We’re active members of various industry groups and regularly attend conferences and workshops to provide best practice training and assessments. We are members of many industry groups and skills councils and as a Registered Training Organisation, we are regularly audited to ensure we are compliant." ❤️ What do you love most about training? “I love seeing people reach their potential. Watching students transform from saying ‘I can’t do that’ to becoming instructors brings me immense pride.” Thank you, Trevor, for sharing your insights and dedication to public safety training! Together, we’re making a difference in our communities. #Theheatison! 💪✨ #PublicSafety #Training #VeteranOwned #EmergencyPreparedness #Empowerment

Safer-Handling were not personally involved with the development of the Emergency Response Belt. However, due to our industry position through the development and implementation of the Soft Restraint Belt (SRB) across the NHS, and our collaboration with the Ministry of Justice implementing their new fabric wrist restraint, we are positioned to offer forces free support with cultural change. Since Thomas’ death there have been two manslaughter prosecutions, a Health & Safety Act prosecution, and a lengthy inquest. Throughout all this, the family of Thomas Orchard have been seeking public accountability for his death. In their statement Thomas Orchard’s family said; “Thomas cannot be brought back but we can only hope that some good can come from his death. We heard some encouraging evidence about some very positive changes that have been made since Thomas died and we can only hope that these changes are implemented robustly with appropriate training, supervision and monitoring.” Fully subsidised appropriate SRB training for officer safety trainers can be arranged at your venue by contacting us directly with our first open course taking place: For full terms and conditions follow this link;

Partner with a Trusted Training Provider https://lnkd.in/ewZSesDm Looking for more training for your team? Having a dedicated safety and emergency trainer is convenient as each of your employees can receive training on a wide range of topics, from CPR/AED and First Aid to understanding OSHA regulations specific to your industry.  Another benefit to having a dedicated trainer is how easy it is to repeat training as often as is needed — or as often as you would like. Some OSHA regulations require training to be conducted at least annually, but because you never know when an inspection could occur, it is never a bad idea to brush up on safety training even when not required. It’s never a wrong time to evaluate your current safety program, or implement a new one, to protect your employees.
