Stay Safe Training for (I)NGO Security Focal Points and Mangers (5 days)

Summary Do you feel safe and secure during your humanitarian work? Do you know how to assess risks endangering your staff, programs or properties?  Or how to cope with safety / security incidents including administering first aid or operating a fire extinguisher? Do you know what to do or not to do as hostage? These are daily questions for many (I)NGO senior staff who serve security managers and focal points. Worldwide security incidents and safety accidents are on the rise, resulting in (I)NGO personnel being injured and/or losing their lives. (I)NGO safety and security culture is often underdeveloped; however as threats increase, the need for simple management skills like risk assessments or incident management, as well as basic practical skills, are emergent. This training will help you to improve the safety and security culture of your (I)NGO.
