First Response, Aspect Registers, Hazard Assessment, Crisis Management, Running the Incident, Roles, Responsibilities, Action Plans and Resources

Course Description

Part 1. By means of revision this element, held in the classroom at your premises, provides an overview to the main considerations in spill response already covered by attendance at one of the specific Sapira spill training courses previously held on site. It then sets the scene for the exercise itself and identifies the elements which will be tested as a part of the live exercise.

Part 2 The Live Exercise. We use two Sapira specialists for this element as we will be assessing not only the reactions and response of your spill team but also the whole command and control structure and performance of your crisis management team. The exercise will be assessed from invocation to completion and debrief.

Part 3 Review and Wash Up. So how did we do? Supported by a subsequent report and incident assessment and performance score, Part 3 will include a preliminary review of the incident, how each element and role performed and the areas for improvement.
