Course Overview
Safety performance on in-house firefighting training degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. The cost of an incident involving this strand of occupational health and safety lands on production, insurance, licence and reputation at once. It concentrates on the parts of the wider occupational health and safety agenda that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Participants finish able to explain in-house firefighting training to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The programme works equally well for those formalising this part of occupational health and safety for the first time and those improving an existing approach. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a safety procedure for this strand of occupational health and safety as they go. Applied research in occupational health and safety consistently shows that early structure around in-house firefighting training reduces downstream rework. Progress on the occupational health and safety capability is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The programme closes with an action plan for this area of occupational health and safety that each participant writes for their own organisation.
