across five continents targeting the offshore industry and
operates 8 centres for advanced fire training, making Falck the
world’s leading operator in this field.
The maritime sector, the wind turbine industry, the chemical
industry, the aviation industry and the armed forces in Denmark
and Sweden also make use of Falck’s 104 years of rescue services
experience in training their staff to take care of themselves
and each other.
At the training centres, people are instructed in safe conduct to
avoid accidents in the workplace, and they are taught how to
react correctly – also under extreme conditions – if accidents
do occur. Falck’s training centres are designed to allow almost
perfect simulation and creation of an illusion of real disasters,
fires and explosions.
Following the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil platform in the Gulf of
Mexico in April 2010, Falck trained 5,000 people to remediate pollution.
