Accident/Incident Response Preparedness (AIP)
Course Description
This course is designed for individuals who are involved in either preparing emergency response plans or responding to incidents and accidents as a representative of their organization. It is based on the premise that accidents are relatively rare events and organizations may have little experience in dealing with them. The aftermath of an accident or serious incident typically involves complex, challenging, and stressful situations. An organization can significantly reduce the negative impact of these events with preparation and the development of an effective response plan.
This updated course has been extended to 4.5 days to integrate communications in the digital age and facilitate a capstone exercise to develop and present an exemplar emergency response plan exercise.
Objectives: To provide information on effective preparation for accident/incident response, including organizational policy and planning, operational and technical aspects, and humanitarian considerations. To provide the knowledge needed to function effectively during post-accident activities and situations. To provide the skills required to write an effective company emergency response plan.
Who Should Attend: Management and safety personnel involved in planning for, responding to, or recovering from incidents and accidents.
