Overview:
The sheer range of potential incidents and emergencies that can disrupt or even stop production is increasing. If managed correctly, then not all of these incidents will become critical or be classed as a crisis, but those that result in increased losses or put increased demand upon the organisation will have serious consequences for the company, the shareholders and stakeholders or the country itself, badly damaging the reputation of all those involved in the response. This course will teach you that meeting this commitment involves more than just being fully prepared.
Course Objectives:
Identify the hazards, including major hazards, related hazards, natural hazards and their definition, technological hazards and dangers of natural hazards.
Understand the roles of the employer and local, state and federal agencies in emergency and disaster response.
Apply the four phases of emergency management.
Learn the guiding principles of a successful, comprehensive emergency management program.
Recognise terrorism and understand the incident command system utilised during an emergency response.
