Ramora UK launches NESS

Ramora UK - a leading Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) company - has launched the National Explosive Safety Scheme (NESS).

Having already helped to develop and implement official explosive related procedures which are accepted as best practice throughout the industry, Ramora UK is now offering its expertise 24 hours a day through NESS. The scheme will equip companies with the knowledge and capability to be prepared for any incident involving explosives, through advice, training and the delivery of practical EOD/bomb disposal services by Ramora UK’s specialist EOD teams.

There are three levels of NESS Membership - Bronze, Silver and Gold - each designed to accommodate the specific EOD requirements of individual clients. But all levels offer a discount on EOD services including a training package, access to a 24/7 Emergency Response Helpline and Time Expired Pyrotechnic (TEP) storage as well as a range of free-of-charge services.
 
An additional option to the Membership is the NESS TEP Storage Rental Solution which provides everything that you need to store TEPs safely and legally.  This includes licensing, training and access to an easy to use online Miscellaneous Pyrotechnic Accounting System (MPAS).

David Welch MIExpE, Managing Director of Ramora UK, said: “We believe that NESS represents a significant initiative for our industry.

“The threats posed by Unexploded Ordnance affects businesses across a wide range of industries, but accessing the services they need to prevent and/or deal with the problems is not always as easy as it should be. NESS is really going to help them do that.”
