SA Safety is a trusted leader in the provision of rescue teams, industrial support and specialist training. From our base in Devon we deliver accredited training, confined space rescue teams, rope access teams and support services to the high-risk utilities, industrial and manufacturing sectors. 

Our specialist City &Guilds and Qualsafe-accredited training is delivered on-site or at our impressive new training centre in South Brent, newly fitted out in 2025 with the facilities to train you to the highest industry standards.

At SA Safety people come first.  As a values-driven organisation, our clear aim is to support personal and professional growth through skills development, opportunity, and sustained investment.  Over 15% of our team are ex-forces and many of them joined through word of mouth, something we’re incredibly proud of.  We actively choose to recruit from the armed forces community because your discipline, experience and transferable skills add real strength to our team. 

We believe SA Safety offers the ideal opportunity for service leavers to use the skills they have earned in the armed forces to build a new career.  With major new contracts starting in 2026, we’re looking to expand our team right now. If you’re transitioning out of the military and want a role with purpose, teamwork and development opportunities, we’d love to hear from you.
