Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT)

This, our most prominent course is designed to get you thinking about balancing the risks and benefits of entering or remaining in a potentially dangerous environment, as well as providing you with recommended actions prior to and during a deployment. Staying safe is critical. Working in an unfamiliar environment with a heightened security risk can increase your vulnerability.

In a potentially dangerous situation or hostile environment, being aware of a threat even seconds before everyone else, can keep you and your team safe. But what exactly should you look for? How do you know if you’re paying attention to the right things? Are there behaviours or warning signs of an imminent threat that you should be aware of

Organisations operating in demanding environments face significant challenges when responding to and managing crises. The course looks at how effective communication equipment and communication procedures are essential for maintaining operational safety . However, communication extends beyond equipment and procedures and also focuses on understanding how emotional self-control and body language affect communication and can help implement strategies that can de-escalate confrontational encounters.
