Snake Handling Training Services

The South African Weather Service (SAWS) is inviting proposals from accredited service providers to deliver face-to-face training on snake handling for its employees at the Irene Weather Office in Centurion. This training is crucial for ensuring employee safety and preparedness in the event of snake encounters, which are common in various operational environments. The selected provider will be responsible for developing a comprehensive training program that covers essential snake handling techniques, safety protocols, and emergency response strategies.

The training is expected to be interactive and practical, allowing participants to engage directly with the content and practice skills in a controlled environment. Providers must demonstrate prior experience in wildlife training, particularly in snake handling, and possess the necessary accreditation to conduct such training. The training sessions are scheduled to take place within a week of the closing date of the tender, ensuring timely delivery of this critical skill set to SAWS employees. This initiative not only aims to enhance employee safety but also contributes to the overall operational efficiency of the organization by equipping staff with the knowledge to handle wildlife encounters effectively.
