A-TEAM Case Study Part 1: A multi-part course on generic hazardous substances management based on material provided by the Lower-Austrian Fire Fighters Academy training program, with additional components on fire protection and fire fighting based on recently developed conventional training material by the authors (Roth, Hofbauer).

A-TEAM Case Study Part 2: A set of scenarios (Planspiele) combining background information and simulated real-time events for team and leadership training (Einsatzleiter) on emergencies involving hazardous subances including one central, plant specific case based on the emergency plans and accident cases developed under the framework of the Seveso II Directive for the plant’s internal and external emergency plants.

A-TEAM Case Study Part 1: Duration of running one course in a small team was 90 minutes including evaluation questions (considered too long by participants) Course will be split into 3 units. Evaluation: Paper based questionnaires; Built-in differential analysis of tests; Dynamic log files.

A-TEAM Case Study Trainee profiles: Semi-professional fire service within the plant: these are normal employees with different tasks within the chemical plants operations, but with special training for the fire fighting and emergency response (training of the whole team: officers, soldiers, specialists) Similar structure in other DCAG plants: Opportunities for exploitation (re-use)

A-TEAM Case Study

A-TEAM Case Study Evaluation used also conventional paper-based questionnaires with a 1 -5 scale; Design objective was to make filling the questionnaire within 5 minutes possible. Average grade was from 1. 3 (best case) to 2. 0 (worst case).
