Emergency Response

Countdown to Event

Activities in the broader energy industries including exploration, production, refining, petrochemical, drilling and transportation, involve high risk and even with the most careful precautions, incidents and crises can happen at any time. When hydrocarbons leak, pipes burst, oil rigs collapse or waterways are fouled, corporate reputations can be tarred for years. In addition, scrutiny from the local and state government, media, investors, customers, regulators, environmentalists and public stakeholders often adds to the tension and complication in defusing a crisis. In such situations, emergency response is fast moving, often dangerous and can be chaotic. To avoid the latter, attendance on this course is essential.

The range of potential incidents and emergencies which could affect, disrupt, or stress production are increasing. If managed correctly then not all these incidents will be critical or could be treated as a crisis, but those which result in significant losses, or put increased demand on the organisation will have serious consequences for the company, the company’s stakeholders, the country and the reputation of all those involved in the response.

This three days intensive masterclass will be punctuated by graphic case studies, group discussions, videos and realistic, hands-on exercises based on the oil, gas and related industries. Delegates will be encouraged at all stages of the course to apply the knowledge they have gained in practical situations.

Course attendance may earn CPD (Continued Professional Development) points recognised by appropriate International Professional bodies.
