Personal Field Security / HEAT
Purpose of the training
The Personal Field Security (PFST) has been specifically designed to increase preparedness and awareness of people working in high-risk environments and support them in building the capacity and confidence needed to manage non-critical and life-threatening situations. It is commonly referred to as HEAT training in the sector. Throughout the training, participants will attend theoretical sessions, learn new skills and get to test them through real-life simulations.
Preparation, planning and reaction are the three pillars of our PFST.
Personal Security and First Aid are a significant part of organizations’ duty of care. Trainings are vital to ensure that staff work in an environment with optimal preparation. At the end of the training, participants will have a better understanding of the risks they face of adequate mitigating measures, enabling them to carry out their work in various environments. They will be better equipped to anticipate and react to threats. This training supports the mainstreaming of the security culture across the entire company/organisation.
