Hi Musketeer,
I hear you mate. Confined Space rescue has changed too over the last few years on the training side and how it's focussed on spinal immobilisation too. Particularly when it comes to heavy industry, mining and oil & gas industries.

Yes weedmeister and all for the better too!! I was horrified during first mines rescue that I was involved in as the medic that spinal was the last consideration of the ERT compared to removal. Thank the gods that this has changed! After being an instructor, examiner and lifeguard it just was so wrong!
I worked for a company just last year that had no spineboard,towels, sandbags or spider and yet regularly had working at heights and cranes in a very remote site. "It will never happen" comes to mind and there was plenty of sand in which to bury their heads!!!
A safety officer's headache! Remarkably they went through several of these individuals too, how strange!!!

The only person who can answer that question would be ALAS, so why not phone them and ask..its a legitimate question..

Another private service ? Qual paramedics or just Industrial Paras or neither ? Be interesting to see if they have a MD and can cover the events same as alas did.

Must be cashing in before they get cleaned out, operating without a poisons permit or maybe under a new name (not illegal if youve resigned before liquidation) close alas down open up new company name same vehicles same. I wonder how stupid the MD is to stay with them must be getting something in return for looking the other way.

The MD prob was getting something in return.

They were all up to no good.

I know they transported a bike rider with a ancle injury who was charged $600 for transport but was back at the track 1 hour later with no more than a grazed toe

Don't let others dictate your thoughts and opinions some times being a leming is not the ideal way to go about life.. As admins you should let discussions go on no matter how heated they get.. as forums are greate for getting issues out on the table and people thinking..

Do you have proof that it was only Zebedee who censored the posts? As you say in your own post there is more than one admin.
