Hostile Environment Awareness Training 2023_1

Humanitarian workers are frequently required to operate in high-risk, hostile, and unstable environments. Without practical training, aid workers lack the practical skills to protect themselves, colleagues, and beneficiaries from violence and accidents. As a result, not only is a comprehensive HEAT training course recommended for all staff members working in such conditions, many insurers actually require it in order to provide coverage in the event of an emergency.

Participants in HDFF’s intensive 5-day HEAT course will learn how to:

• Recognise and avoid UXO/IED’s/land mines;
• How to prevent and respond to fires in the field;
• To survive a Kidnapping & Hostage incident from abduction to release/rescue by force;
