Hazardous Material Advisor Training Courses

Description

TWFRA (‘the Authority’) is the publicly accountable body that oversees the policy and service delivery of Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service (‘the Service’) on behalf of the community. The Service successfully leads the operational delivery of fire and rescue services such as public protection, fire and other emergency prevention, operational response and resilience. Our stations, staff and appliances are strategically placed across Tyne and Wear to ensure efficient and effective response to fires and other emergencies. Appliances work across station areas and can be mobilised whilst away from their home station. We also have robust arrangements with neighbouring services to enable additional support during major emergencies. To support this operational capability, specialist training such as HMA is required to ensure personnel maintain the necessary knowledge and competence to respond safely and effectively to complex and high-risk incidents. This training underpins informed decision-making, strengthens operational resilience, and supports the Authority in meeting its legal and regulatory responsibilities while protecting staff, the public and the environment.
