SETS (Safety and Emergency Training Services) has been operating since 1998 and has provided extensive safety and emergency training experiences to thousands of participants.

In 2019, we custom built a new training facility to cater for an increasing number of students and clients and to be able to deliver more realistic scenarios in safety and emergency training. We remain one of the first choices when it comes to the industry’s training needs.

 

Three (3) things you need to know about SETS Emergency Response Training facility in Perth Western Australia.

 

1.   Tools and Equipment

Our safety and emergency response training facility is well equipped with all the tools and equipment in order to prepare students for real-life situations. Our safety and emergency equipment is regularly inspected and tested and is used in all different kinds of scenarios.

Our tools and equipment include;

• Ambulances, first aid and medical equipment including AED’s (Defibrillators), mannikins (adults and babies), training epipens, inhalers, tourniquets and a variety of bandages and splints to respond to an array of first response incidents.
• Breathing apparatus, distress signal units, entry and exit protocols and equipment. A main component of all emergency training is selecting the correct level of PPE associated with the incident. SETS has your back, we provide helmets, gloves, boots and the correct level of emergency jackets and pants, so no need to buy PPE. Students will be ready to enter a dark and smoke (smoke machine) filled environment simulating a potential fire or hazardous material incident.
• Real cars that have been involved in road crashes, students gain hands-on experience using a variety of cutting and powered tools and spreaders (jaws of life) to perform an effective casualty extraction using one of our stretchers, specific to the type of scenario.
• Tripods, ropes, harnesses, stretchers and hardware including karabiners, descenders and pulleys are used to teach students to tie an array of ropes and put together simple and complex rope rescue systems. This allows them to feel the adrenaline rush of ‘stepping over an edge’ of our vertical rescue tower for the first time whilst harnessed and supported by their fellow students or rescuing a casualty from a confined space.
• Fire trucks (fire appliances), hoses, extinguishers, branches, forcible entry tools, ventilation fans and structures with gas props to create real fires where students feel the reality of heat and flames associated with fighting a fire.
• Gas detection equipment to detect hazardous materials, fully encapsulated gas tight suits whilst wearing breathing apparatus, chemical splash suits, rubber boots, gloves and decontamination equipment will provide students a real insight into responding to a hazardous materials (HAZMAT) or dangerous goods incident.
• Drug and alcohol testing equipment, Australian Standards, Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and other legislative documents and forms are referred to and used in all our training, two-way radios and communication equipment are also used to receive and transmit information between students and instructors.
