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 in the menu to the left.
