About the course
What this course covers.
An emergency does not wait for anyone to be ready. The difference between a controlled response and a chaotic one is decided before the emergency starts - by the plan, the training, and the drills. This course makes sure workers know the plan and know their part in it.
The course covers emergency preparedness - the types of emergencies a worker may encounter, the written emergency action plan that describes how employees are expected to react, and the training and practice drills that make the plan work. It then covers emergency response - reacting appropriately to an emergency, emergency communications, and getting medical assistance.
Employers are required to provide a safe workplace and, in most cases, a written emergency action plan, and all employees must be trained on it. Companies use this course to deliver that training and to give a documented training record an auditor or a contractor pre-qualification platform looks for.

We pair this with our own emergency action plan. The course explains why the plan matters so workers actually engage with ours.

Short and clear. The drills section made the case for practising the plan instead of just filing it.
