Introduction

Despite the huge strides that Industries have made in technological advancements since the first industrial revolution more than 250 years ago, their vulnerability to unanticipated incidents continues unabated to this day. Unfortunately, organizations are often unprepared to handle such incidents, thus turning them into emergencies, and occasionally allowing them to escalate to catastrophic proportions.

Ironically though, every incident inherently provides a window of opportunity for its safe containment through timely mitigation by pre-engineered systems, adequate response resources, and effective incident management strategies. The Managing Major Emergencies (MME) Course is designed precisely with this in mind. Its primary objective is strengthening incident management and leadership competencies of middle and senior management personnel in industrial organizations.

One of the special features of this course is the unique Industrial Pre-Incident Planning (iPIP)® methodology that is aimed at empowering organizations to achieve self-sufficiency in managing any foreseeable emergency within its operations.
