Well, what a way to start a blog, today I have been cleaning up a chemical spill (of the deadly substance “Neverwas”), rescuing a worker trapped under a pipe of pipes, fighting fires and rescuing a worker from the roof of a warehouse.

Although it sounds dramatic it was all a training exercise put on for the Randwick State Emergency Service by the site safety team at Qenos in the Botany Industrial Park.

Although the SES is not the combat agency for fires and chemical spills in our area, it was still good experience to get to “play” with the serious rescue equipment and find ourselves in situations out of our normal comfort zone.
