“As a Power Station Shift Superintendent spanning almost 14 years, I have been involved with many Training organisations across a broad cross-section of Topic’s but it is the recently completed Training course relating to Fire Fighting and Breathing Apparatus (BA) at the NRG Gladstone Power Station by consultants from Emergency Response Readiness and Recovery Consultancy that really struck a chord with me. Not only was the subject matter, both in the theoretical and practical sense, delivered in a very professional and timely manner, it was clearly demonstrated over the course of the Training that there was a vast wealth of experience being called upon by the Trainers from their own respective careers and personal experiences that they injected into the subject matter where appropriate which only served to enhance the message being conveyed to the Trainee’s.
Based on my personnel experiences spanning the breadth of my career and the experience from Training completed to date with ERRRC, I have no hesitation in recommending this company for consideration whenever there is a need for Emergency Training courses to be undertaken.” goes here

“QER has an important responsibility to safely manage our operations and land, and to ensure impacts on our neighbours are kept to a minimum.
QER identified that there was an elevated risk from uncontrolled fires due to a build-up of grass and flora debris across our site. We sought the expert guidance of how to plan and manage these risks engaging Barry and Pat from Emergency Response Readiness and Recovery Consultancy (ERRRC).
The planning by ERRRC was second to none and as the Site Senior Executive it made me feel at ease when it came time for the execution phase of the plan and we began the Hazard Reduction burns (controlled backburning).
The team assembled by ERRRC had a combined experience of over 230 years in the QFRS and it was evident that this team knew what they were doing. They knew how to do it as safely as possible by managing the risks and keeping these as low as possible. The teamwork displayed over the whole period was exceptional.
We all know how important it is to keep bush fire risks to a minimum and the devastation caused by uncontrolled bushfires, but also the risks associated with controlled burns becoming uncontrolled. I have no hesitation in recommending ERRRC to others requiring a professional, risk managed planned approach to Hazard Reduction.”
