Pre-training conference, identifying rural hazards

Making and filling a portable dam, a scenario at last night's training

Members' training took them to Patumahoe, South Auckland, last night. In contrast to usually working in the well-lit metropolitan area, members faced various scenarios in the pitch black of rural farmland. This meant every operation had to be lit, for their personal safety and so that they could safely undertake operations. Scenarios included hazard recognition and mitigation, lighting, making portable dams and operating the ablutions trailer.
