Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT)
The overall objective of the three days HEAT course is to increase the participants’ awareness of safety and security issues in hostile environments and to provide participants with the skills and tools necessary to deal with and reduce different types of risks and threats - known and unknown.
By the end of the course the participants will be trained to deploy to hostile or otherwise hazardous environments; to recognize and avoid potential threats; and to respond appropriately to different types of safety and security incidents.
Central to the course is the mental preparation of participants to endure a hostile environment, providing techniques and awareness in order to reduce or mitigate negative psychological influence of hostile environments.
