Oil and gas emergencies are fast-moving, dangerous and — without rehearsed command and control — chaotic. Not every incident becomes a crisis; the ones that do bring consequences for the company, its stakeholders, the country and every reputation attached to the response. This programme trains the judgement that separates incidents, emergencies and crises, and the structures that manage each: Emergency Communications Centres, Emergency Response Teams and Crisis Management Teams organised to best advantage. The cohort evaluates the current catalogue of perilous risks to the industry, designs response and communication strategies — including social media and government relations — and works through industry case studies and table-top exercises with syndicate role-playing.

Frequently asked
How does the course distinguish incidents, emergencies and crises?
It trains the judgement that separates the three — their attributes and escalation paths — and the structures that manage each: Emergency Communications Centres, Emergency Response Teams and Crisis Management Teams organised to best advantage before the incident arrives. On-scene leadership techniques prevent unnecessary escalation.
Does the programme cover crisis communications?
Yes. The cohort designs response and communication strategies covering call centres and emergency centres, social media, and media and government relations. Industry case studies and table-top exercises with syndicate role-playing put those strategies under realistic pressure.
Is the training available in-house and in French?
Yes. BIZENIUS delivers the programme in English and French, and an in-house edition can be built around your own response organisation and risk catalogue. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request; fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.
