Webinars

Course Overview: 

Crisis, incident, and emergency management requires personnel to make high stakes decisions under time pressure and often with little information; they are potentially some of the most challenging and stressful situations that your personnel will ever face.   

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to respond and carry out their roles and responsibilities with effortless ease, while others, extremely intelligent and capable individuals, seem to struggle?  

CHEMTREC’s Crisis Solutions team is delighted to invite you to participate in this virtual workshop where together, we will explore the psychology behind incident command. The session will introduce and explore the non-technical skills which are a key part of our decision-making process: situational awareness, decision making, leadership, teamwork, and the ability to cope with mental fatigue. We will go on to explore the barriers which inhibit our ability to utilize these skills sets during incidents, and solutions to overcome these barriers.  

This workshop will be split into three two-hour sessions. This workshop will provide a solid foundation and understanding of the psychology of critical decision-making during a crisis and why crisis and emergency management plans, training, and exercising is only the start of your journey towards organizational resilience. In this session we will focus on the human element of crisis management. We can have the best policies, plans and procedures in place, but it is our people that bring these elements to life. This interactive and engaging session will provide value, guidance, and support for all attendees regardless of their crisis management experience or level of maturity in this space.

A crisis can strike without warning, when it is least expected, and have huge potential to create negative headlines, damage share prices, and destroy reputations that have been built over decades. Even small-scale incidents can quickly lead to crisis situations, and companies should be prepared to respond and communicate with clarity, confidence, and compassion. Even when media pressure is at its most intense, there is a need to engage with both internal and external stakeholders.

To understand why communication is so important in a crisis, CHEMTREC’s Crisis Solutions team has partnered up with Mark Wenham, a world-renowned expert in media and communications, to deliver an insightful webinar on the strategies and tools needed to protect your organization's reputation, maintain stakeholder trust, and emerge stronger from any crisis.

This webinar introduced the foundations and principles of incident, emergency, and crisis management. We shared key results from the 2021 Crisis Management State of the Industry survey and revealed secrets to creating “buy in” for those looking to implement or improve their introduction to incident, emergency, and crisis management program.

Our panel discussed the role of a health-check in understanding your organization’s needs and our specialists shared their top tips for developing a health check tool. The panel then shared best practices in the development of incident, emergency, and crisis plans and policies. The 2021 Crisis Management State of the Industry survey showed that the industry struggles to develop plans which are flexible and scalable, and our panel offered practical solutions to this need. One attendee won a free health check for their organization, conducted by our Crisis Solutions team.

Four out of ten people in the chemical sector do not understand their crisis management and emergency “response” roles and responsibilities and 18% of organizations have not tested their plans. This webinar explored the importance of training and exercises, and offered practical solutions to develop your training and exercise program. We also shared our top tips for getting staff to engage in and attend training and exercising events.
