IGEM and Steelhenge to run 'Managing Energy Emergencies' workshop in Dublin, October 2009
Following the success of the 'Managing Energy Emergencies' workshop series held in a variety of UK locations over 2008 and 2009, Steelhenge and IGEM are to hold an energy emergency management workshop on October 21st for government and industry delegates in Dublin, Ireland. The interactive workshop draws on the experience of seasoned practitioners in the energy industry in Ireland, covering the management of energy emergencies in gas, electricity and other fuels, and dealing with the effects of a global pandemic. It draws upon case studies of recent emergency incidents in Ireland and the lessons that can be learnt from each one. Steelhenge Consulting Ltd, one of the UK's foremost emergency planning and business continuity consultancies, is delighted to have the opportunity to work with IGEM once more. For more information, visit www.steelhenge.co.uk or call 0845 094 2117. To book a place, call Gemma Tunnicliffe on 01509 678159, quoting reference SYMJ09.
"It's a testament to the success of the 2008 and 2009 energy emergency planning workshops that we have the opportunity to deliver the same valuable content to delegates in Ireland," commented Mike Gilbert. "Previous delegates have really appreciated the opportunity to hear about real energy emergencies from people personally involved in managing them. Personal experiences of energy emergency incidents bring all of the theoretical concepts of emergency planning to life and the scenarios enable delegates to think about the decisions they would have to make. The feedback has been so positive we are confident that the delegates at the Dublin 'Managing Energy Emergencies' workshop will also find it incredibly useful."
The workshop is designed to help any individuals who are responsible for the management of their business in an energy emergency, including emergencies influenced by pandemic variables. "The workshop is very timely considering that we are experiencing the global pandemic of the H1N1 flu virus," Mike continued. "Pandemic factors can exacerbate or even cause an energy emergency, so it's absolutely critical for business continuity managers to be well informed to be the most effective as possible for their business. In addition, the workshop explores how future changes in the energy industry and government policy could affect a business continuity manager's response to an energy emergency." The 'Managing Energy Emergencies' workshop will be held at Bord Gais Networks, Dublin on 21st October. Places are limited, so interested parties are urged to book early to avoid disappointment. The next workshop in the series will be held at Kegworth in November, focusing on energy emergency arrangements in England, Wales and Scotland.
