Training Courses
From the 1st October 2009 the HSE has introduced new guidance for the provision of First Aid in the Workplace. ECS Rail Resources can provide these new courses to ensure your company is completely up to date.
We are unique in being able to offer training courses which are held pre engineering shift, typically between 7pm and 11pm, thus allowing night crew to work as normal.
