Thankyou to everyone who supported us in the recent Relay for Life in Singleton. Safety Plus Training raised a grand total of $1349. We were proud to be associated with such a worthy cause and look forward to participating again next year. 

Trainer Tim Dunn, was unable to take part in the Relay for Life because he was participating in the 2009 MS Gong Ride the same weekend. He was part of the top fundraising team Downer EDI Soft-cogs who managed to raise a massive $143,149. Well done on all their hard work.

For more information on either events, and the related conditions, go to:

Safety Plus Training has put together a team of workmates, friends and family to participate in the 2009 Singleton Relay for Life. This is an event created by the Cancer Council and aims is to remember those we’ve lost to this terrible disease, celebrate those who have survived and raise money for cancer research, advocacy and support. It is an issue very close to our hearts.

The event is being held this Saturday, 31st October, at the Singleton Showground. If you would like to donate to this valuable cause please click on the following link:

All donations will be gratefully received. Safety Plus will be donating part of the course fee from all the senior first aid courses held throughout October to their fundraising effort. A commerical grade first aid kit is also being raffled off - tickets are available at our office and will also be available on the night.

We are proud to announce that Lisa Badior, our Administration Manager, took out the Employee of the Year award at the annual Singleton Outsanding Business Awards held on 8th August. Safety Plus Training was awarded runner up in the Education and Training category. It was a great night and a good opportunity to celebrate the hard work put in by the team at Safety Plus Training.   

Congratulations to all the winners on the night.

Following another successful competition in 2008, Scott is once again making the journey to Indonesia for their 12th Annual Fire and Rescue Competition. Scott will deliver two training packages before assisting in the organisation and assessment of participants as they undertake their rescue simulations. We wish them all luck!

Remember: call for assistance, pressure bandage, rest and reassure.

We also stock a range of products to meet the changing season including hayfever tablets, cooling bandanas, anti-itch spray and more.  Please talk to our staff about your product needs. 

            Take care of your staff this summer.

With summer fast approaching, staff are faced with new challenges in the workplace. Dehydration, heat and ‘nasties’ such as insects and snakes affect work production. Safety Plus Training stocks a range of competitively priced products to support workers in this environment. Talk to our office staff to discuss your needs this summer….

We also have a range of cooling wear, hydration backpacks and more!

Take care of your staff this summer.

We’re thrilled to welcome Tim Dunn as the newest addition to our team. Having 17 years experience with the Ambulance Service as a Paramedic/Rescue Officer,Tim is a retained member of the NSW Fire Brigade and also has Mines Rescue experience. His extensive experience will be a great asset to our company and our clients.
The addition of Tim as a full-time Trainer will enable us to expand our training capacity and better meet our clients needs.
Originally from the area, Tim and his family are happy to be moving back to Singleton after 10 years away.  Welcome Back!

Our new work vehicle has arrived! The addition of this vehicle will enhance our service provision on-site to our clients and has been fitted out to comply with mine site requirements.

In November, Scott was excited to return to Indonesia for the annual Fire and Rescue Competition. The Australian contingent was made to feel warmly welcome at a colourful opening ceremony, before the hard work began. Scott and his colleagues delivered pre-competition training sessions in Emergency Spinal Care prior to the Rescue comp and found the Indonesians to be eager learners. They were also able to assess the participants as they put these skills into practice during the week long rescue competition.

The Competition was a great success and Scott is looking forward to returning next year to continue this alliance.
