Did you know? The Security Industry Authority (SIA) requires close protection operatives to hold a Level 3 or higher first aid qualification.

One recognised option is the First Response Emergency Care (FREC 3) course.

This requirement means many working as security guards, bodyguards, door supervisors, and close protection operatives are now turning to FREC 3 training to support their SIA licence applications.

At MRS Training & Rescue, we’ve already seen a rise in delegates from the security and close protection sectors - including those operating in high-risk environments across the UK.

Our FREC 3 courses equip learners with the vital knowledge and practical skills needed to respond effectively to medical emergencies in challenging situations.

Oxygen deprivation is a silent but deadly risk in many workplaces.

Did you know that air is considered oxygen-deficient when levels fall below 19.5%? Even a small drop can affect concentration, cause confusion, and lead to unconsciousness – and in the most severe cases, it can be fatal.

Our latest blog explores the symptoms, dangers, and prevention of oxygen deprivation, particularly in confined spaces where the risk is greatest.

With over 120 years of experience, MRS Training & Rescue is here to help businesses protect their teams through training, rescue cover, and specialist consultancy.

As Summer Draws to a Close, Safety Remains a Priority

As we approach the end of August and the beginning of autumn, workplaces across the UK are preparing for changing conditions. Shorter days, cooler weather, and wetter environments can all increase risks for those working in challenging or hazardous settings.

For industries that involve confined spaces, working at height, or hazardous environments, this seasonal shift is an ideal time to review:
✅ Risk assessments and safe systems of work
✅ Emergency procedures and rescue plans
✅ Equipment inspections and maintenance schedules
✅ Staff training and refresher courses

At MRS Training & Rescue, we’ve been supporting businesses through these transitions for over a century. By preparing early, teams can ensure they remain safe, resilient, and ready for the months ahead.

If your workforce needs support with training, rescue cover, or consultancy this autumn, our expert teams across the UK are here to help.

This footage from our archives shows a mock emergency mines rescue carried out by our Mines Rescue Service experts.

While much has changed since then, one thing remains the same: our commitment to keeping people safe underground.

We are still proud to offer a Mines Rescue Service, being recognised under the Mines Rescue Regulations 2014 as a specialist rescue provider and part of the National Mines Rescue Scheme.

Today, just as we did then, we continue to manage and maintain a highly skilled technical rescue and emergency response service – ready when it’s needed most.

The Health and Safety Executive has recently prosecuted a sole trader after a worker suffered serious injuries falling from a flat roof with no edge protection. The HSE found the work had not been properly risk assessed or planned, and edge protection was not in place.
