This training allows you to acquire a certificate of level I (Bac + 5).
For the conditions of access and APEL, inquire with the administrative manager of the training at +33 (0)2 32 74 44 47.

The course is delivered on ENSM Le Havre campus and at Le Havre Normandie University.

The ENSM, which has been dedicated to the securing of the ship bridge activity for a few years, put its expertise to the disposal of other sectors, as the « human factor » part of the university degree of hospital risks management at the University Hospital in Angers.
The ENSM has trained :
– operators of the control centre of the duplex tunnel of the A86 motorway (west of Paris),
– project senior managers from Cofiroute
– building managers and site managers from Sogéa Nord-Ouest (building trade).
– the ENSM will train in 2017 operators from MESEA, operating personnel of the high speed railway line Tours Bordeaux (infrastructure, not rolling stock)

The interest shown by all the sectors of the high-risk industries has led the ENSM to build, within a partnership with Le Havre University, a training course named « Managing operational risks in activities with rapid dynamics ».

The Course

The training course will be delivered mainly to operators having to face daily hazards in their activity, not necessarily to « risks managers ».
It focuses on helping them to increase the level of safety of their activity by giving them three essential additional competences :
– risk analysis : it is meant to avoid, to some significant degree, the occurrence of a hazardous situation.
– knowledge of the factors which can impact the person, the team and the organisation : it allows to spot and recover errors made in the course of the activity in order to prevent them from ending up in a hazardous situation.
– risk management is the third hurdle: it trains to minimize the aftermath of the hazardous situation.

It has to be noticed that in the crisis management section, an important part is given to the management of a terrorist attack. It is, unfortunately, a sign of the times to train professionals of the industry to such an event and to explain  :
– what will happen when a group of specialists intervenes on their site
– what the group will be expecting from them
– what the group will bring them
– how they can cooperate efficiently with the response unit to maintain the site and the personnel safe.

In this section, as in all the other ones, the ENSM requires the competences of a renown specialist, ex-commander of SWAT  to teach this module.

The certification, Managing Operational Risks is of great interest to the actors of the oil, hospital and maritime sectors.
