Control Point Rescue
Control Point Rescue is a small family-owned and operated Far North Queensland business that was established in 2018 by Clayton Vladich and Adam Spinelli.
Control Point Rescue has a different paradigm to most emergency response and training organisations. Our preference is to align and work closely with clients, learn their processes and contextualise training and ERT delivery, specifically for the sites and tasks being undertaken.
This process allows for the courseware to be customised specifically to the site, enhancing and streamlining emergency response practice and process.
To achieve this Control Point Rescue employs highly trained, professional and experienced, emergency response technicians and trainers. All personnel has proven emergency response backgrounds specifically Queensland Fire and Emergency Services and/or Resource Sector Emergency Response Team personnel.
The leadership team of Control Point Rescue has a combined experience of 36yrs emergency response, incident control and training delivery across Australia.
Control Point Rescue is a referral-based business with active Emergency Response, Confined Space Management and Training contracts across heavy Industrial and Construction sites, in the Far North.
Control Point Rescue is not an RTO, we are aligned/partnered with Allen’s Training (90909) and Total Management and Training (31178).
