Advanced Fire Fighting Training: Techniques and Strategies
Fire safety within a building or installation must be managed to be effective. Therefore, fire safety management is concerned with the general study of fire prevention, fire development, fire control, fire dynamics, decay, and fire control and how fire safety measures manage the effects of fire on people, the environment, and financial conditions.
There is no "turnkey solution". Every workplace is different. Therefore, fire safety management and related fire risk assessments are not theoretical exercises. The purpose of this advanced fire safety management training is to improve fire safety NOT just by collecting and submitting risk assessments. So are you confident? Ask yourself if there is a major fire in your section, department, or factory, do people, including visitors and contractors, know exactly what to do and where to go? Will employees be able to initiate and perform available emergency procedures? To help answer these questions, this training examines the principles and practices of alerting, evacuation, emergency procedures, training, and exercises.
Teaching methods include presentations, group discussions, workshops, quizzes, project work, appropriate training DVDs, and case studies. The informal hands-on event is meant to motivate and challenge. A reference manual with handouts will be provided to each participant at the end of the course. This training uses relevant EU legislation, UK directives, GCC best practice, UK standards, and approved codes of practice from various Health & Safety Executive publications.
