Alternative Fuelled Vehicle(AFV)
& Electric Vehicle(EV) Response

Click here to complete our online Electric Vehicle (EV) Responder Safety short course (40 mins)

Responders & Recovery agents faced with an AFV/EV involved in RTC and/or fire NEED training

to ensure their own safety, public safety and safe & effective resolution of the incident in a dynamic and complex environment.

Our courses are designed by Responder SMEs to meet the Responders training needs!

Most EV training offerings are from Motor Industry training providers, designed for Mechanics & Technicians working on EVs

in workshops environments - not the complex and dynamic scenarios faced by Responders!

Our Electric Vehicles(EV) Responder courses cover:

awareness of the increasing variety of AFVs/EVs amongst Responders and practitioners
the hazards associated with different fuel types when involved in RTC and/or fire
safe approach, information gathering and ERGs (Emergency Response Guides)
thermal events and containment/suppression tactics
extrication & trauma care considerations and options
'making safer' using our IAIIM protocol, and handing over risk information, and
Recovery, transport & storage and Investigation

Courses can be tailored to suit Emergency Responders (Local Authority/Airport FRS, Police & Ambulance,

Highways and Recovery), Salvage site staff and Insurance Assessors/agents.

Having been consulted on the creation of the new National Occupational Standards for EV Responders

our courses are mapped against EV02a & EV02b

and can be delivered as 'Certificated' or IMI Accredited (Professional Qualification Certificate)

Electric Vehicle(EV) Incident Responder courses (IMI TechSafe

Professional Achievement Certificate)

FireWise UK can deliver our one day Electric Vehicle(EV) Incident Responder courses

with delegates achieving an IMI TechSafe Professional Achievement Certificate

For the Fire and Rescue Service our courses are also developed in line with
