What is industrial emergency rescue and response?

Our experience of working across different sectors has shown that, despite all best efforts, things occasionally go wrong. Although we are not a 999 organisation that can just be called out, we do appreciate the potential impacts on a business, and so we can offer the service provisions below, but only by prior agreement/ contract:

  • Access to our emergency call-out line, meaning issues can be reported at any time, night and day.
  • If an incident requires an immediate response, we will contact our on-call manager.
  • The on-call manager will mobilise teams locally initially, then calling on other resources if needed.
  • Mobilisation includes people, vehicles, and equipment. All MRS sites operate to the same standards, are trained in the same way, and primarily use the same equipment.

Our size means we can increase the number of people available to support the operation if required.

Onsite, our specialist rescue teams follow the emergency arrangements agreed upon in the Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS). Where an emergency falls outside the scope of the RAMS, our rescue team will conduct a dynamic risk assessment. In the event of a sustained emergency event, we have the resource to provide ongoing support including skilled management to liaise with the emergency services.

Experience and expertise

MRS Training & Rescue began life as the Mines Rescue Service, with our heritage in rescue from major hazard environments, traditionally mining. Over the last one hundred and twenty years, our fundamental purpose has stayed the same - to keep people safe. 

Today, rebranded as MRS Training and Rescue, we remain true to our purpose, so that whatever service we deliver to our customers, it is on the basis that quality and safety are never compromised. 

We continue to build on our heritage and expertise, to be the UK’s most respected and trusted supplier of safety services. We work to positively influence the safety performance of the businesses we work with and the sectors we work in, ensuring our customers will always be ‘safe in our hands’. 

Our structure retains the governance and expertise to operate a national mines rescue scheme and helps us manage and maintain a technical rescue service that covers a range of industrial sectors.

Employing over 180 people across eight specialist sites, we are a leading authority in Confined Space and At Height Technical Rescue for high-risk situations worldwide.

Our operatives have first-hand experience of working in difficult conditions, along with specialist equipment, knowledge and experience.

We used MRS as on-site rescue team in one of our investigation projects where they appeared to be very communicative, professional and helpful during the course of the site work. Strongly recommend them.

Farshid Bonakdar, RSK Group

Without doubt an A1 service provider. Always try their best to accommodate in every instance and to a very high standard

, The Royal Mint

I just wanted to pass on my thanks to you and your respective team who once again supported us so well over the summer as we undertook major refurbishment of the scour valves at Caban Coch. This was a critical project for us and safety on such a challenging job was our top priority. As ever your team did a great job providing critical safe access and emergency plan support – its very reassuring to have you ‘guys’ on site.

Peter Perry, Chief Operating Officer, Dwr Cymru Welsh Water

MRS are always helpful and professional and always work flexibly to meet our requirements.

As ever, very happy with the service provided, the lads were very accommodating with the different people who entered the confined space ensuring we were all safe at all times
