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.
Done Work at Height with Andy great bloke knowledge is amazing also confined space and confined space rescue with Wayne Leech and Wayne Curtis again both excellent trainers and really good blokes. Would recommend MRS to anyone needing the type of training they offer you will struggle to get better.
MRS came to my factory to do medium risk confined space training. The instructor and assessor were knowledgable and very professional. An interesting course with the whole group passing. Great course from a professional company.
Very good course. Well structured and relaxed atmosphere during lessons. I'd recommend MRS.
Great experience, comprehensive training with competent and helpful instructors.
I would like to say we have used MRS for a number of years very regular for our employees – we have a great relationship with them – staff are very quick and efficient and always quickly solve any issues we regularly have with cancellation of delegates and rearranging dates – the staff are very patient with us and always fulfill our needs within the business – we will be continuing to use Mines Rescue in the future as the service is excellent.
