About the Course

This is not a course on emergency procedure. There are a number of dedicated organisations who provide this information. In contrast, this course teaches you practical strategies to lead and manage yourself and others in a time of emergency or crisis; how to think, how to act, how to delegate, negotiate and communicate effectively. You will learn strategies for handling stress in yourself and others. The modern focus on risk management, safe operating processes and incident response processes have improved safety, however, what is missing is the answer to the core questions.

How do you lead and take control in a crisis?
How do you behave?
What must you do when you are in charge of a high pressure/major consequence event?
How do you rebuild a positive work environment after a major incident?

This course’s team of highly experienced specialists provide real world value, experience and insight on all of the above. Drawing on real world examples and practical strategies the course will equip you to deal with the all aspects before, during and after a major incident.

Who Will Benefit

This course is ideally suited to those who are leaders in industries where there is potential for high risk (pressure)/major consequence events.

Those, who people will look to for leadership, when there is a critical incident or crisis, such as; plant managers, operations managers, general managers, mine managers, deputy managers, exploration managers, OHS leads, maintenance team leaders, HR managers and project managers.
