Investing in our team with CPD
In our business, CPD is essential to continually build skills and effectiveness within our team, enabling us to lead with a strong culture of safety in a challenging workplace.
We’re committed to building skills resilience within the team through a strong programme of CPD, an essential for all members of our Industrial Support team.
Team members undertake regular practical and theoretical training to maintain their current skills and update their knowledge base, thus ensuring they can continue to work at the highest level of professional competence.
Why CPD matters
Resilience is the ability to face and adapt to challenges in order to overcome them. By continually updating their knowledge and skills, we ensure that our rescue team members have the tools and experience to respond quickly and efficiently in any situation, no matter how challenging.
We want our teams to be the best in your challenging workplace so we’re committed to providing regular training. CPD builds and maintains essential skills, so that we always provide a best-in-class service to our customers.
Here at SA Safety, building skills resilence means investing in our Rescue Team. Our programme of CPD is designed to:

- Support career progression: Our programme of CPD allows team members to acquire new skills for different roles, supporting their personal and professional growth,
CPD: how we train
We know that delivering on regular CPD demonstrates our dedication to maintaining high standards. At a recent CPD training session the team renewed several essential confined space qualifications including:
This training is the industry standard for high-risk confined spaces and an essential in our skills toolkit. In addition, two of our team gained TAQA assessor and IQA assessor qualifications.
Additionally the Rescue team went on to gain essential rope access qualifications: ISO 22846 Rope Access level 1 & 2 courses for rope user and rope supervisor are the international standard for rope access in challenging and hard-to-access locations.
Because we’re SA Safety we also had a lot of fun during the training! A big thank you to Cal Rose and his team at R&M Utility for delivering the confined space courses and to Steve Fields from Rescue Specialist Limited for his instruction on the ISO 22846 courses.
