Phase 1 – Pre-planning and risk awareness
Date: 6 July
Time: 10:00 AM (BST)
Format: free webinar
During this webinar, the panel will highlight the importance of developing a risk awareness mindset and planning for these risks. This will cover the first four phases of integrated emergency management – anticipation, assessment, prevention,
and preparation activities – which should all take place prior to an incident occurring. The panel will also delve into the risks to an organisation if these activities aren’t suitably carried out, including the financial and reputational
consequences.
Phase 2 – Mobilisation and safe approach to an incident
Date: 3 August
Time: 10:00 AM (BST)
Format: free webinar
Phase 2 looks at the considerations upon mobilisation to a hazmat incident and how to make a safe approach. During this webinar, our panel will discuss key topics such as safe approach routes, early identification
of the substance involved, cordons, incident location, and early information gathering. This webinar will conclude with a discussion around making the final approach to a hazmat incident and how control room employees play a vital part during
this phase.
Phase 3 – Arrival at the incident
Date: 7 September
Time: 10:00 AM (BST)
Format: free webinar
Phase 3 considers the immediate steps that should be taken upon arrival at a hazmat incident. This starts with an initial dynamic risk assessment and communication with the on-site response team, and the responsible person, owner or occupier.
During this webinar, our panel will look at the different ways of doing a full assessment of the incident scene and the importance of performing life-saving activities such as a snatch rescue.
Phase 4 – Tactical planning during the incident
Date: 5 October
Time: 10:00 AM (BST)
Format: free webinar
Once life-saving activities have been conducted and the responders have the necessary preliminary information about the incident, phase 4 begins with tactical planning on how to implement the plan. This webinar will include resource considerations
such as personal protective equipment (PPE) required and the importance of a decontamination strategy. The panel will then discuss how to contain and control the substance, set up an environmental protection plan, stabilise the scene and the
critical role played by the Hazmat Advisor.
Phase 5 – Implementing the tactical plan
Date: 2 Nov
Time: 10:00 AM (GMT)
Format: free webinar
This phase is all about following the tactical plans that must now be in place. During this webinar, the panel will look at what factors the Hazmat Advisor must consider before making any final decisions. The panel will also consider the various
other ways that the same incident can be brought to a successful conclusion.
Phase 6 – Development of the incident
Details coming soon
This phase considers the need to constantly monitor the incident and the subsequent change in plans depending on any new development. The webinar will be focused on how to move forward when there is a need to scale up and bring on extra resources,
or relief crews or scale down during a hazmat incident. The panel will also look at multi-agency, collaborative working as hazmat incidents usually require multiple organisations to bring them to a conclusion.
Phase 7 – Closing down and handover of the incident
Details coming soon
This phase is vitally important and should be carried out with the same amount of diligence as the early stages. During this webinar, our panel will look at the different agencies that a Hazmat Advisor might need to work with and how to
hand the incident over to the relevant organisation.
Phase 8 – Post incident considerations
Details coming soon
The final phase in this virtual series will provide you with vital next steps including employee welfare, documentation of the incident, safe disposal of contaminated PPE kits and considering the lessons learnt during the incident for all future
response. During this webinar, the panel will also discuss how this phase feeds back into phase 1, and how responders at all levels, can continue to prepare themselves.
