The delegates will be trained to not only lead a well-trained Emergency Response organization, but they will also
learn how to assess the situation and conduct appropriate information management during an emergency and take effective action and delegate tasks during an emergency.

During a major emergency, nothing is that important as good communication. That is why they learn to communicate effectively, both internally and externally. That is only possible if he knows how to deal with stress in himself and in others.

The practical training will be executed by means of Command Centre simulations. The Command Centre simulations will consist of class A, B, and C types of emergencies, where these emergencies are classified as:

A. Major Emergency that is readily controllable if managed appropriately.
B. Major Emergency which has the potential to escalate if not managed in an effective and
timely manner.
C. Major Emergency that is uncontrollable and will eventually escalate leading to
the abandonment of the installation.

The subjects for the scenarios of Simulation:
– Loss of essential equipment
– Injured personnel
– Multiple casualties
– Missing personnel
– Loss of containment
– Hampered or lost communication
– Loss of evacuation means, muster points or TR
– Rapidly developing situation leading to time pressure
– Lack or overload of information
– Abandonment or evacuation of the installation
– Chemical and/or oil spills and hazards to the environment
– Adverse weather conditions
– Stressed or incapacitated key personnel
