About Emergency Management training
In the event of an emergency the smooth execution of emergency control
procedures can be achieved only if everyone is thoroughly familiar with
what is expected of them. The risk of panic, personal injury and loss
of property is significantly reduced by having an efficient Emergency
Control Organisation (ECO), and occupants trained in emergency response
procedures.
The EHS Unit offers a variety of emergency response related training
and education throughout the year. For specific information regarding
each of these courses, view the appropriate sections found below.
