Exercise Management

Before conducting the exercise(s) EIMS will write, prepare and develop exercise objectives. This process involves consulting with the client to ensure that the exercise is customised to the organisation. This partnership enhances the participants learning and assists in transfering knowledge to the work place.

Exercises are held to test procedures and processes, evaluate equipment, to ensure staff understand their role during an incident, to provide the opportunity for staff to practise using their skills and become familiar with the processes invovled. It also provides an opportunity for partners to work together and understand expectations, the capabilities of stakeholders and to demonstrate the synergies that exist to provide a safe working environment for employees.

Exercises can take many and varied forms (desk top, discussion, hypothetical and field). Staff will meet with stakeholders to:- develop objectives; style the exercise to meet those objectives; resource and discuss the format of the exercise. At the completion of the exercise, sessions are held to ensure participants understand what your organisation knows, what it should know and review possible gaps.

 

Development and Review of Emergency Plans

Plans are an essential concept for every business and organisation. Business plans, information plans and security plans are necessary to set out direction for employees. Likewise Emergency Plans are necessary to identify/analyse and evaluate risks and develop treatment options. Emergency Plans provide the opportunity for organisations to communicate with its customers and stakeholders on strategies that have been implemented to remove or treat risks.

An alert informed and prepared organisation and community; that understands identified risks; has agreed responsibilities for tasks and a coordinated approach to the effective use of resources will be better prepared to protect life, property and the environment.

EIMS will assist organisations to consult with stakeholders, facilitate the risk management process and prepare a plan to mitigate risks and document agreed processes ensuring a coordinated approach during an incident.
