Market Drayton training company launched
A physics professor has launched a specialist safety training company to ensure people could help a colleague or friend in an emergency.
Robert Price, from near Market Drayton, has launched Inrad-Medical, a first aid training provider, specialising in educational, industrial and outdoor pursuits groups.
Dr Price, a former research professor, said his courses were taken into the client's premises, including schools, colleges, factories and office suites so the course attendees are taught in the surroundings where they would usually need to carry out first aid and where they would face familiar obstacles.
The First Aid at Work and Emergency First Aid at Work courses are Health & Safety Executive approved through Rescue Emergency Care (REC).
"It works much better to hold the course at a client's premises and to look at what issues they may face there – providing flexibility for the client," former medical physicist Dr Price said.
"We can adapt to their environment within the legal requirements.
"Although we are based in Shropshire, we have already won contracts to run HSE first aid courses in many parts of the North West, including Cheshire, Staffordshire, and North Wales."
He added:?"Everyone should learn basic first aid techniques to assist in the case of an accident, whether that's at home, at work, at school, in the street or on holiday.
"Having appropriate first aid knowledge will give them the confidence to act in the correct manner, protecting the safety of themselves, bystanders and the casualty."
