Advance training is your best defense against the unpredictability of an emergency.
In the world of emergency response, few things are predictable. That's why it's nice to know that the planning process has been clearly defined.
Response Ready is a virtual training solution based on the Canadian Standards Association's (CSA) Z731-03 standard. It tests and develops users' ability to identify hazards and assess risk. Response Ready can help you affordably train staff so that you can refine your emergency plan to prime your organization for successful full-scale simulations.
When disaster strikes, no one knows what might happen. Control what you can in advance.
From municipalities to the oil and gas sector, chemical processing to the Hazmat industry, Response Ready is a valuable tool for almost anyone involved with emergency preparation. The key skills and concepts behind emergency planning have been distilled to allow users from all sectors of industry to relate to the content. Scenarios covered within the virtual environments include small scale and large scale emergencies, disasters involving dual-liability, private and public sectors.
Our virtual scenarios cover a range of emergencies including:
Just some of the sectors currently using Response Ready include:
Wind shifts, communication breakdowns and media interference are just some of the factors that increase the unpredictability of an emergency situation. Make sure that your team's readiness isn't one of those factors.
Response Ready helps you maximize the success of your emergency plan before beginning costly table-top exercises or full scale simulations. It instills confidence in your team as you go through your disaster avoidance due diligence phase.
Response Ready helps you to refine your emergency planning process, anticipate the unexpected and ensure there are no oversights in your simulation. That means that by the time you're ready to close down a strip of highway to stage a five-car pile up you'll know you can put your responders through their paces.
Response Ready is based on real life processes that allow users to learn in a context that promotes deeper understanding. As a result, users develop significantly heightened expectations of what they will face in a real situation.
For maximum effectiveness, all team members should have a uniformly high level of emergency-planning knowledge. Response Ready is a cost-effective way to bring your entire team up to speed. That means that despite employee turnover and absenteeism, you'll be ready.
Based on CSA's Emergency Preparedness and Response Standard CAN/CSA-Z731-03, Response Ready lets users practice hazard analysis, situational assessments, and emergency response planning. Through execution of simulations, users can then assess their level of skill in this virtual environment, which provides a safe training ground to practice in without real-life consequences. CSA offers Emergency Preparedness and Response as a two-day course where Response Ready is featured as a course component and recommended as supplemental learning.
Confidence doesn't come from just having an emergency response plan; it comes from knowing that your plan is effective. Confidence is often achieved through real life experience with real life consequences, or through an expensive simulation. However, in an ideal world you could achieve confidence without suffering any consequences at all.
Response Ready provides a safe environment to practice emergency planning without having to put your organization at risk. You'll learn a process that will help you to create a plan that is broad enough to apply to almost any potential emergency situation. It then allows you to test the effectiveness of your plan in a virtual simulation.
Using a trial and error method, Response Ready encourages you to take inventory of your decisions based on their success or failure. Afterwards, you'll revisit the planning phase for improved results the next time around. With multiple environments to visit and numerous opportunities to improve your approach, Response Ready helps you remove doubt about the effectiveness of your plan.
