For over 120 years, MRS Training & Rescue (formerly known as Mines Rescue Service), has developed specialist skills, experience and knowledge gained from working in difficult and potentially dangerous environments, to effect the rescue and escape of mine workers from underground.
However, given the gradual decline of the coal mines over many years, culminating in the closure of the last deep coal mine in December 2015, we have been able to expand and diversify to meet the needs of today’s health and safety market. We have been able to secure long term success by leveraging our expertise, and have branched out from underground mining into providing unique rescue services, specialist equipment (some of which has been designed using practical expertise gathered on the job), consultancy and a comprehensive range of accredited health and safety related products, training and services to a wide range of industries, including nuclear, aerospace, manufacturing and utilities.
Training and assessing customers' employees to safely enter, work and exit from confined spaces, is offered at all of our eight training centres, and can also be delivered at customers’ premises by using our mobile rigs. We have been involved with industry in developing the National Occupational Standards, and all the confined space suite of qualifications awarded by City & Guilds are available at our accredited training centres. We have also developed bespoke courses for specific industries such as the water industry.
Having used MRSL for specialist confined space and first aid training for over 20 years myself personally and now for the staff of my business GMEC Solutions Ltd, I cannot fault the quality of the training they provide and they remain the only provider we will use for this training and the one we would recommend.
An excellent presentation and training by Gerwyn & Ben last week on our emmisions stack at Vale in Clydach. I felt it was well worthy of a mention. I've worked in industry electrically and mechanically since 1973, also outside of work as a part time retained firefighter. So as you can imagine have attended more safety classes than you shake a stick at. MRS stand out above the rest and far from feeling jaded after all these years I still feel engaged in one of their class. Keep up the good work.
The company is very professional and extremely helpful. They are very knowledgeable and friendly. I have used other companies in the past but i would recommend this company to anyone, they are the best by far.
Fantastic training received. The course was very informative. Graeme delivered the training very professionally and was courteous to everyone throughout. 5 star service and had a laugh along the way. Keep up the good work guys!
