Introduction:

This advanced training program is tailored for health and safety leaders, field supervisors, and operational managers who are responsible for protecting people and assets under real-world conditions. The course takes participants through a series of hands-on, immersive experiences that build leadership capability, decision-making confidence, and high-stakes response readiness in live settings. Participants will not only enhance their technical HSE knowledge, but will also experience what it truly means to lead from the frontline.

Objectives:

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Apply advanced risk mitigation strategies during live drills and emergency simulations.

• Demonstrate correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in realistic scenarios.

• Lead a crisis response team through a structured chain of command in timed simulations.

• Conduct physical safety inspections and hazard identification walkthroughs on-site.

• Communicate under pressure using role-based simulations and face-to-face debriefing protocols.

• Evaluate behavioral safety through observed peer-to-peer field exercises.

Course Methodology:

• Real-time scenario enactments and team-based field drills.

• Practical walkthroughs in designated safety zones or demo sites.

• Use of props, physical tools, and live equipment demonstrations.

• Group leadership challenges and tactical communication exercises.

• Facilitated feedback sessions and peer coaching circles.

Target Audience:

• HSE Managers and Supervisors

• Safety Officers and Coordinators

• Emergency Response Team Leaders

• Operations Managers
