Hostile Environment Awareness Training Manual Pdf
Traditionally, Hostile Environment Awareness Training, often called HEAT, has been limited to three to seven days of face-to-face training often requiring residential stays. Participants receive a mix of presentations and lectures plus simulated exercises to help give them a better understanding of the security principles involved with staying safe in hostile environments.
This course is ideal for anyone working in or about to deploy to hostile environments, anyone who has already done a face-to-face HEAT course and is looking to refresh their learning or local personnel who are unable to attend face-to-face training.
The online HEAT course combines written content, videos, quizzes and interactive scenarios across six modules to help raise awareness of security and safety issues for those working in challenging environments. The unique interactive scenarios allow learners to gain a realistic experience of the situations they are likely to encounter while on deployment.
Tran owns a restaurant serving Asian-fusion cuisine. The restaurant is decorated with Vietnamese art depicting scenes from traditional religious stories. Tran keeps a shrine of Buddha in the corner by the cash register and likes to play traditional Vietnamese music and chants. Linda has worked as a waitress in the restaurant for a few months and complains that she feels harassed by the religious symbols and music. As long as Tran does not discriminate on the basis of religion in his hiring or supervision of employees, the religious expression would likely not amount to practices that are severe or pervasive enough to constitute a hostile work environment based on religion.
Religious expression that is directed at an employee can become severe or pervasive, whether or not the content is intended to be insulting or abusive. Thus, for example, persistently reiterating atheist views to a religious employee who has asked that it stop can create a hostile environment, just as persistently proselytizing to an atheist employee or an employee with different religious beliefs who has asked that it stop can create a hostile work environment. The extent to which the expression is directed at the employee bringing the Title VII claim can be relevant to determining whether or when a reasonable employee would have perceived it to be hostile.[183] That said, even conduct that is not directed at an employee can transform a work environment into a hostile or abusive one.[184]
While eating lunch in the company cafeteria, Clarence often overhears conversations between his coworkers Dharma and Khema. Dharma, a Buddhist, is discussing meditation techniques with Khema, who is interested in Buddhism. Clarence strongly believes that meditation is an occult practice that offends him, and he complains to their supervisor that Dharma and Khema are creating a hostile environment for him. Such conversations taking place in the cafeteria do not constitute severe or pervasive religious harassment of Clarence, particularly given that they do not insult other religions and they were not directed at him.
