As UK energy‑sector firms (including oil, gas, renewables, power‑grid, and infrastructure) deploy project and maintenance teams to Ukraine, personnel face heightened risks—ongoing shelling, damaged networks, critical infrastructure, and evolving tactics. This four‑day Hostile Environment Training (HET) equips your staff with energy‑industry‑relevant survival and first‑response skills.
Who Should Attend?
This essential safety training is ideal for:
- Engineers and construction professionals working on infrastructure projects
- NGO and humanitarian workers involved in redevelopment
- Logistics and transport specialists operating in high-risk areas
- UK‑based engineers, technicians, and operations staff from energy firms working on transmission lines, refinery maintenance, power generation, or pipelines.
- Logistics, inspection, and maintenance crews under corporate contracts in Ukraine’s energy sector.
The course covers personal security, situational awareness, emergency response, and MARCH first aid protocols to enhance safety in conflict-affected areas.
