   • Worker health during emergencies: first aid, triage, and treatment for injuries and exposure.
   • Managing psychological effects: stress management and support for emergency responders.
7. Communication and Coordination in Emergency Response
   • The importance of communication in high-risk industrial emergencies: internal communication within the response team and external communication with authorities.
   • Managing stakeholder relationships during an incident: working with regulatory agencies, media, and affected communities.
   • Crisis communication strategies: managing public relations, addressing concerns, and providing timely information.
   • Documentation and reporting: incident logs, after-action reports, and compliance with regulatory standards.
8. Post-Incident Evaluation and Continuous Improvement
   • Conducting post-incident reviews and debriefs: evaluating the effectiveness of the emergency response.
   • Identifying lessons learned: areas for improvement in response plans, team coordination, and resource management.
   • Implementing changes to emergency response plans based on feedback and analysis.
   • Building a culture of continuous improvement: training, drills, and revising procedures.
