Course Overview

Safety performance on fire load assessment degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. Regulators judge this area of occupational health and safety on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. Participants apply the occupational health and safety discipline to their own work site throughout, so the output is directly usable. It is written for people who have to make fire load assessment work with the resources they already have. The most reliable predictor of sound this part of occupational health and safety is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Most organisations already have a policy on the wider occupational health and safety agenda; far fewer can show it working. The programme is built to be used, and every section of fire load assessment it covers ends in something applicable. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of this part of occupational health and safety to standardise and which to leave flexible. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the occupational health and safety discipline that would make a visible difference.
