Access to larger transport based hazardous material scenarios would also be beneficial.
It is essential that the provider is able to supply a range of modern equipment to support the training including, but not limited to appliances, breathing apparatus sets, thermal imaging cameras and associated equipment to effectively deal with hazardous material incidents.
