RNLI and firefighters to teach staff what to do in an emergency, as customers return after lockdown
People working in pubs, cafes and other venues near to rivers are to be given special training to help stop people drowning amid concerns for customers flocking back as the Covid lockdown eases.
Firefighters are being trained by the RNLI to go into businesses and show staff how to get people out of the water safely. The move comes after two people died in the Thames within days of each other last week.
