    the only country I know of that allows utilities workers to have emergency lights is Germany where the railways,electric & water all have a small number of bluelight equiped units certainly in the UK police,fire,ambulance,eod,coastguard are the only ones (i know of)

    funny you should ask British Transport Police are in the process of setting up a 100 man armed suport unit, so will have there own tactical team
    these guys won't carry as only the driver s a police officer (yellow vest) the guys in orange are all civilian engineers who will work alongside the police, fire rescue and ambulance staff after 7/7 and the inquiry a few new units were setup to deal with mass casulty events in and around london

    London Fire Brigade have USAR - Urban Search & Rescue

    London Ambulance have HART - Hazardous Area Response Team

    Met,City & BTP have under various names a CBRN response capibility and in the mets case the only non military EOD team in the country
    this unit has been around in one form or another for years, perviously it was staffed totally by civilians with no Blue light authority, they got round this and the law by assigning a police driver and repainting the vehicles with the word police covereing the section of the legislation for "police purposes"
