EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM (ERT) TRAINING
Emergencies and disasters can happen anywhere and anytime due to human error or natural disasters such as fire and explosions, falling from height, release of toxic gases, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, etc. Organisations need to be prepared for foreseeable emergencies at all times to respond to incidents with the potential for loss of life and property. Preparation prior to an emergency situation is very important to ensuring that employers and workers have the appropriate equipment to handle the emergency situation effectively, know where to go, and know how to stay safe in case of an emergency.

IHSM offers training on how to effectively manage emergency situations and other unwanted circumstances. It also provides an operational structure for hazard prevention, emergency planning, and response. We believe that safety should be the primary goal in making the workplace safer for everyone.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES
The objectives of Emergency Response Team (ERT) training are to create awareness among the participants to:

• Recognise and be prepared for foreseeable emergencies.
• Understand the actions necessary to protect the people in the event of an emergency.
• Know where to go and how to stay safe in case of an emergency.
• Manage effectively in emergency situations.
• Ensure safe evacuation in the event of an emergency.
• Ensure the safety and protection of people and property.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
After completion of the ERT training, the participants will be able to:

• Familiarises with disaster management theory.
• Develop an emergency plan to mitigate against, manage, and recover from a disaster.
• Use the principles of risk management to identify hazards and conduct a risk analysis of their impact.
• Enhance their technical knowledge and abilities for effective preparedness for their workplace associated emergencies.
• Develop coordination with other agencies engaged in rescue operations.
• Be prepared in advance to effectively tackle an emergency situation.
• Use their technical skills to respond in the event of an emergency.
• Conduct mock drills in a systematic way to ensure proper coordination.
• Use rescue and other equipment properly without risking your health and safety.
• Organise an awareness campaign in the workplace and community for prompt response in the event of an emergency situation.

BENEFITS OF TRAINING
The Emergency Response Team (ERT) Training promotes knowledge and awareness in the development of experience by providing an overview of emergency preparedness-related requirements. Effective evacuation protocols will be recognised, and proper arrangements will be in place. The benefit of training is also that it increases the capability of responders and improves their preparation. Furthermore, it educates individuals about disaster preparedness for risks that may affect your workplace and minimises or eliminates the threats to life and property.
