Course Overview

Almost every serious incident involving high-rise evacuation planning was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. Safety performance on this strand of occupational health and safety degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about this area of occupational health and safety. The course sets out a working method for high-rise evacuation planning that participants can apply the week they return. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the occupational health and safety discipline outperform teams that only plan it. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this aspect of occupational health and safety and supervised application. The difficulty is not agreeing that high-rise evacuation planning matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with the practice within occupational health and safety. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the occupational health and safety discipline that would make a visible difference.
