Industrial Emergency Response Team Competition 2023 … ETS offers much more than fun and games
|
|
This year’s Industrial Emergency Response Team Competition on 28 September 2023, promises to be a cracker event with 25 teams entering to participate in up to four events each, while being scrutinised by 28 judges and officials. The purpose of the competition is to provide emergency responders from all sectors of industry an opportunity to sharpen their skills and compete against other emergency response teams in simulated scenarios including firefighting and other essential skills. Teams from municipal brigades are welcome as they are also expected to respond to industrial incidents.
The competition is primarily an evaluation of various teams’ emergency response abilities to simulated incidents. An opportunity is provided for experienced impartial assessors to evaluate team members’ individual abilities and skills. The competition allows team members to rise to the various challenges put before them while under pressure, and aims to create and mimic the pressure experienced at real incidents. Team building, team work, problem solving and honing individual skills will be part and parcel of the days’ activities. The competition may be regarded as a reward for emergency responders who have dedicated their time and effort to the aspiration of saving lives, protecting assets and protecting the environment.
Objectives of the competition
• Measure participating teams’ effectiveness in resolving a simulated emergency scenarios.
• Learn from other organisations response teams in the industrial setting.
• Identify areas of improvement as advised by assessors.
• Team building
• Recognition for the best performers including best team leader.
Competition date and venue
The competition will take place on Thursday, 28 September 2023 at ETS Emergency Training Solutions, Redan, Vereeniging at 07h30am sharp. Teams must register each of their seven team members before 08h00am on the day of the competition.
Events
We have attempted to cover four aspects, vital to responding to incidents, namely sampling theoretical understanding, individual skills, testing emergency responders’ physical abilities, and working together at a simulated fire incident. This year’s competition thus, will consist of four events namely:
1. Main event: A firefighting scenario involving injured victims and/or other “real life” persons involved
2. Individual skills: Donning of PPE and hose laying
3. Physical ability event: Toughest fire team relay event
4. Psychomotor challenge
