Andy Williams is a training supervisor at BDS, a company which provides training for Ministry of Defence civilians and civilian contractors including driver training, licensing legislation and accident investigation. Williams says the operation tries to keep one step ahead of anything being introduced as a Directive: "We may be able to offer advice to others because Dave Riordan we have sometimes
roadtested this stuff first."
He cites the Working at Height Regulations, which have affected the use of services' fire fighting equipment (see page 38).
Williams' colleague Dave Riordan is a training and licensing supervisor, an ex-police officer and mechanical handling instructor. He retired from the police in 1998 and joined BDS in 2000. "Andy and I prepare drivers for operations anywhere in the world," says Williams.
