Client testimonial

"We contracted CMSE to carry out training with our Emergency Response Team over a five-week period covering 40 employee responders. This covered basic fire fighting, LPG fires, Chemical Spillage Containment, Ammonia Release and BA Training.

"I am pleased to say that the response from our ERT members to the quality of the training was very positive. They found the two day course interesting, enlightening and very relevant to likely emergency scenarios which could occur at our site. We will continue use CMSE for future ERT training requirements."
