Delegates are required to supply a Government issued photographic ID on starting the course.

• Understand the key factors of preparing for, responding to, and maintaining control throughout the development or escalation of an emergency situation in the Renewable Energy industry.
• Learn how to manage communication, emergency-related information and put into place predetermined plans at the point when the emergency alarm has been raised, to the point when the emergency manager is assured that the emergency is over.
