Exercises in Scotland
In April several members of the SpillConsult team travelled to Falkirk, Scotland to deliver Initial Incident Response Exercises.
Over the course of a week we delivered a series of exercises to an Incident Management Team, consisting of two onshore and two offshore exercises. These were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and readiness of response functions and procedures, with the aim of contributing towards continuous improvement within the organisation.
For each exercise various external stakeholders were present to aid authenticity and ensure all involved remain engaged throughout. Feedback indicated that participants found our exercises effective tools for gaining a better understanding of their roles and responsibilities within the Incident Management Team. The objectives were met, and team members felt that the positive learning experience was a strong foundation to build on their incident preparedness and response capabilities.
