Course Description

This programme provides underpinning knowledge and understanding of the key factors of preparing for, responding to, and maintaining control throughout the development or escalation of an emergency. The Learners will learn how to manage communication, emergency-related information and put into place predetermined plans at the point when the emergency alarm has been raised, to the point when the Asset Incident Controller is assured that the emergency is over. Delegates will also understand how stress can impact on individuals and team performance during emergencies.

​

The programme involves a combination of Theory and Practical scenarios designed to build confidence and provide Initial Responders with the best platform from which to enable them to return to their ASSET and ensure that maximum value is extracted from the course.

​

Evaluation of delegates will be by continuous observation of their performance during their tenure(s) as AIC, each based around a major incident chosen from the following:
TIER 1 – Major emergency that is readily controllable if managed appropriately.
TIER 2 – Major emergency which could escalate if not controlled.
TIER 3 – Major emergency that the EM is unable to control leading, to a full evacuation of the facility, which should include all the following events across the range of TIER 1/2/3 scenarios:

​

• Injured Personnel Extreme weather conditions

• Multiple casualties Loss of essential facilities

• Loss of Containment Rapidly developing situation leading to information overload

• Loss of communication Evacuation of the facility

• Loss of evacuation, muster points or temporary refuge

• Environmental concerns and effects
