Course Overview
Where crisis management and emergency planning depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. The cost of an incident involving emergency planning lands on production, insurance, licence and reputation at once. The course sets out a working method for the practice within occupational health and safety that participants can apply the week they return. Practitioner evidence points the same way: crisis management and emergency planning improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. They leave able to brief senior management on this area of occupational health and safety in terms that support a decision. The programme works equally well for those formalising emergency planning for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make crisis management and emergency planning hard in practice. Progress on emergency planning is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The programme closes with an action plan for the occupational health and safety capability that each participant writes for their own organisation.
