About this Course

Overview

An incident is any event that has caused or has the potential to cause damage to an organisation, people, assets, systems or reputation.  The response to an incident / emergency in an industrial environment can present unique challenges to the safety and effectiveness of the frontline incident responders.  Understanding the characteristics of hazards in the industrial environment and the appropriate tactics to be employed can ensure your response is not only safe but highly effective.  This course is designed to demonstrate the value of a structured Incident Management response when dealing with an incident.
