Who should attend?
This course is suitable for anyone responsible for direct command and control of emergency response on site, as described in Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations 2015 (COMAH) and associated Guidance on COMAH (L111) and Emergency Planning for Major Accidents (HSG191).
The skills and knowledge taught in the Site Incident Controllers (SIC) course are also applicable to more common non CoMAH scenarios that still involve significant risks and require prompt, effective response. Many of our customers are not CoMAH operators.
Course content
- Emergency management principles
- Emergency management structure and process
- Roles and responsibilities of the SIC
- Command and control of operational emergency response teams
- Dynamic response and situational awareness
- Personnel safety and casualty response
- Understanding of hazards and safe areas
- Team management and communications
Method
In the first part of this course, candidates develop their knowledge of the principles and practice of emergency response. In the second part, candidates consolidate skill and experience through learning in a coached simulation, in preparation for a practical assessment. Candidates are assessed against competencies for the SIC role, as defined in COMAH regulations and guidance. Candidates pass or fail this assessment and a report is provided, containing quantitative and qualitative feedback.
Why work with us?
We believe compliance not only satisfies the regulator, but is also good for business risk management. In fact, if establishments are going to comply, they might as well ensure good practice at little or no extra cost. We believe in an evidence-based approach, using competencies extracted from The Regulations and Guidance. We believe in competence development, which involves experiential learning more than just transfer of information; and we believe in gaining assurance on competence through assessment under realistic conditions.
