This course is suitable for anyone who may be expected to take charge on site during an emergency, before the arrival of the emergency services and in support of them once they are in attendance. Typical learners include shift and duty managers, operations and production supervisors, site and facilities managers, emergency response team leaders and health and safety professionals.

The course runs over 4.5 days and is delivered in person. It combines classroom input on the role and responsibilities of the Site Incident Controller and the non-technical skills that underpin it with realistic, scenario-based exercises in which each learner takes charge of an incident. The course is usually classroom based. Where suitable, some scenarios can be delivered in the client’s own control rooms and on site, drawing on their site plans, emergency procedures and hazard profile to make the learning as relevant as possible.
