SDS

On average we run 50 courses per year Ideal for:

• Incident controllers,
• Post room staff,
• Telephonists and Receptionists and
• General Security staff.

Bomb Threat Awareness for all security and management staff. Ideal for:

• Government Departments
• Local Government
• Industry and Commercial Organisations.

Ideally classes cater for 12-16 delegates and held on your premises.  This is a cost effective approach and allows local issues to be addressed.  Our most popular courses are half day modules of between 3 and 4 hours, but we'll discuss with you the ideal duration of your training session.

All courses are Institute of Safety and Health (IOSH) registered and meet the requirements of the management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations - particularly Regulation 7 for 'competent persons'.

Certificates are issued to successful delegates.

Over 30,000 delegates have been successfully trained by SDS over the last 10 years

Example of a typical Low Risk - Incident Controller Course

1. An Update To The Threat - Contingency Plans - Action On A Find
2. Desk Top Exercise
3. Delegates formed into groups
4. Issued with a scenario detailing the situation of a particular incident
5. Groups consider reaction
6. One group chosen to describe reactions and reasoning
7. Situation progressed, issued with developments
8. Groups consider next actions and so on until incident complete

The intention of the Exercise is not so much to test the individual but to assist in formulating a practical plan. The exercise is used as a means of exploring many facets of the plan and how it would work under a number of conditions.

Example: The success of the exercise depends upon the level of participation of the players. The more the players put into the exercise in the role-play, the more they will get out of it. The aim is for the exercise to create an atmosphere that will put the players under a certain amount of pressure, which will reflect how they would act in a real scenario. This in turn will assess the effectiveness of a plan, i.e.: how easy it is to follow in a stressful situation.
