Course Overview

A procedure for smoke spread analysis that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Safety performance on the occupational health and safety capability degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. Participants leave with a method for this area of occupational health and safety, not a set of opinions about it. Progress on smoke spread analysis is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Every module pairs a short input on this aspect of occupational health and safety with structured practice on the participant's own material. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of this strand of occupational health and safety to standardise and which to leave flexible. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in smoke spread analysis that were visible long before the incident. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this area of occupational health and safety, not for observers of it. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the practice within occupational health and safety that participants can repeat annually.
