Internal Emergency Plan (POI)
Two days to build or update your site’s internal emergency plan: accident scenarios, crisis organisation, response means, alert and liaison with the public emergency services. The work starts from your installations, your risk analysis and your existing procedures, and ends with a tabletop exercise that puts the plan to the test.

Frequently asked questions
Must our site have a POI?
It depends on your activities, the hazardous products present and the requirements of your permits, your insurers or your customers. The course does not replace this regulatory analysis, but its method applies to any site exposed to a serious accident.
Do we need to have a POI already to attend?
No. A site without a plan leaves with the structure, the scenarios selected and the first action cards. A site that already has one tests it in an exercise and leaves with the list of its updates.
Who should attend?
The site director or their representative, the members planned for the crisis cell, the HSE manager, production and maintenance managers and the leaders of the response teams.
Does the course include a full-scale exercise?
It ends with a tabletop exercise. A full-scale exercise, with evacuation and response, can be prepared with you afterwards; it requires an organisation specific to the site and, where relevant, informing the public emergency services.
