BLS Training Day, 23rd February 2019

The Branch Line Society has an on-going programme of training sessions for their stewards, with regard to health & safety, good practice and many other aspects of the railway environment. Saturday 23rd February 2019 saw another day at the North Tyneside Steam Railway when a morning session undertaken in manual handling techniques was given by Ian Hughes of Green Dragon Rail. The late morning and afternoon sessions were hosted by Jonathan Moran of the Samaritans, on Managing Suicidal Contacts, both very valuable skills. Many thanks to all involved in this project. As usual, a few shots to start with, more to add as I try to catch-up with everything!
