TABLE 5: Emergency Response Training Exercises
Type of Exercise
Description
Frequency
Drill
A supervised activity that tests a single or specific operation or function. Drills are commonly used to provide training on new equipment or test new procedures: to practice and maintain skills; or to prepare for more complex exercises. a facilitated analysis of an emergency situation in an informal, stress-free environment. A tabletop exercise is designed to elicit constructive discussion as participants examine and resolve problems based on existing operational plans and identify where those plans need to be changed. These are activities designed to evaluate capabilities and multiple functions using a simulated response. A functional exercise will simulate the deployment of resources as well as aspects of problem solving related to the response. Participants will evaluate management of the Incident Command Centre(s) and assess the adequacy of emergency response plans and resources. an activity involving establishment of an Incident Command Post and actual deployment of field resources in a coordinated response, as if a real emergency had occurred. A full-scale exercise is often a multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional exercise conducted in conjunction with external agencies and stakeholders.

Exercise Objective and Design
With multiple operating areas, care is taken to design the exercises so that all areas receive the same training. Exercises may be based on company or industry incidents, hazards, near misses or potential risks. Emergency exercises are varied in order to test potential emergencies as identified in the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) Process.
