17. User Requirements Report • Introduction • Training systems for emergency management: General Conditions • Computer based training courses: An Overview • End-users and Test Cases • User Requirements and Recommendations ET&P

18. Training systems for emergency management: General ConditionsRegulatory and legislation • Different geographical application levels: European, national, regional and local. • Training on emergency issues is requested but content not specified. ET&P

19. At European level:Seveso II Directive Transportation of dangerous goods • Regional and local regulations laws are referred to emergency management: • Emergency Plans. • Co-ordination between different parties. • Training requirements. • Supervision, inspection and sanctions by the authorities. ET&P

20. Training systems for emergency management: General ConditionsInstitutional framework • The national, regional and local regulations determine the institutional framework: • Responsibilities • Procedures • Action plans • Emergency response systems • Useful to define stakeholders and potential users and extent and content of the training course. ET&P

21. Training systems for emergency management: General ConditionsManagement and organisation in emergency at local level • Emergency response plans have been established at regional and local level. • The different private actors (chemical industries, transport companies, etc.) have developed their own emergency plans. • Include training programs, emergency exercises, public information and other educational issues. ET&P

22. Computer based training courses: An OverviewInvestigation in current state of the art • The studies on advanced training technologies are growing rapidly both in number and in fields of application due to the development of new information technologies. • Advanced training models keep developing, in the search of achieving a natural dialog between the student. ET&P

23. Private specialised companies offer different software and information tools. • In many cases, the software has a reduced and simplified interactive level, related with non-complex domains. • Some tools are based on dynamic simulation and state of the art computer technology to support educational programs. ET&P

24. Examples of the diversity of training systems: • Power plant Training simulators • Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) simulation training software • Advanced gunnery training system In the field of emergency and risk assessment and management: - PHAST - SAFETI - CAMEO - ISCOVER - SAFER - RiskWare ET&P

25. Research projects: ET&P

26. End-users and Test CasesIdentification of potential end-users • Identification has been done by: • Reviewing the institutional framework. • Interviews with users. • Users have different levels of involvement in emergency management. ET&P

27. Users can be classified depending on the type of the organisation (public and private) and summarised as follows: Emergency planners from local and regional authorities Local Municipalities Health service PUBLIC SECTOR Harbour authorities Fire fighting brigades Civil Protection Population Environmental protection offices Police ET&P

28. Emergency response companies Chemical industries • Fire fighting brigades • Emergency teams • Emergency managers • Plant operators • E&S managers • Site management PRIVATE SECTOR Fire fighters from railway companies Airports emergency services ET&P

29. Public sector: Emergency training for front-end actions and co-ordination aspects for emergency planners and response teams. • Private sector: Main users could be chemical and transport companies. Industrial users are mainly plants subject to Seveso II Directive. They require training at different levels. ET&P

30. End-users and Test CasesTest Cases • Applicability of the proposed training system is studied through the implementation of five test cases. • The test cases are conducted in five different countries, each with different emphasis and institutional framework. ET&P
