Since 1953, Gesip has been working to advance the prevention and control of industrial fires. Its work focuses on training and expertise in the safety of people and industrial facilities.
With 70 years of experience in the field of industrial safety, Gesip has established itself as a leading provider of safety training. The organization is dedicated to improving the safety of people and industrial facilities. Through its training programs, it is committed to promoting an HSE (Health, Safety, Environment) within the industrial sector. The purpose of the training programs organized by Gesip is to improve the performance of companies in the sector regarding prevention and risk management, particularly industrial fire risks.
Thes 2 centers Gesip technical training centers areat at the service of industry to help pass on knowledge, raise awareness of incidents, and share experiences regarding industrial fires.
Industrial incidents, however regrettable they may be, are a source of learning and new knowledge.
The increasing number of industrial fires suggests that better prevention and management of such incidents remain necessary for industry stakeholders.
Gesip believes that improving risk control and management depends on sharing experiences and pooling knowledge in the field of fire safety. Gesip therefore offers a diverse range of high-quality training courses to prepare teams to implement and follow appropriate response procedures in the event of a fire.
Gesip training programs are renowned for their effective teaching methods, which combine theory and practice. Indeed, they draw on the accumulated expertise of Gesip’s specialists—their knowledge and experience—as well as on the organization’s full-scale facilities, which are unique in Europe, to train its partners. The training courses are delivered by professionals with extensive experience in industry and public emergency services. The Gesip community also provides its partners and members with technical guides resulting from the work of internationally recognized expert committees.
Real-world industrial fire training using Gesip’s facilities
Gesip’s industrial fire training courses are designed to teach effective and safe response methods for bringing a fire under control. These courses go far beyond the theoretical learning of prerequisite knowledge about the different types of fires and the protocols to follow when a fire breaks out. They prepare teams so that they are able to respond safely to an industrial fire.
Industrial fire training is conducted at Gesip’s two technical training facilities. Located in Vernon, in the Eure department, and in Roussillon, in the Isère department, these facilities enable us to offer training conducted under real-world conditions and in dynamic scenarios. In fact, the training facilities are equipped with various full-scale training units to conduct a wide range of workshops within infrastructures that replicate an industrial environment. Gesip also has a 4D dynamic simulator.
These high-quality training programs enable companies to train all their employees in responding to large-scale static and dynamic fires, operating in smoke-filled environments, conducting drills with the appropriate equipment (water hoses, foam nozzles, fire extinguishers, etc.), and practicing crisis management in accordance with very specific response and communication protocols.
Training programs tailored to the needs of businesses
Gesip offers customized training programs designed to address the specific security challenges faced by individual members or companies. The organization enables its members to benefit from the full range of technical expertise and hands-on experience of Gesip’s experts, while receiving training either at their own facilities or using their own equipment at Gesip’s training facilities.
These training courses can be conducted in either French or English. Gesip can also provide services for establishing training centers and developing trainer certifications in the field of fire, hazardous materials, and explosion risk management.
