Course Overview

Where automatic fire suppression design depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. Regulators judge suppression design on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. Plans for this aspect of occupational health and safety often fail at the handover point between functions. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of automatic fire suppression design to standardise and which to leave flexible. The programme suits teams tackling the wider occupational health and safety agenda together as readily as individuals attending alone. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from suppression design, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Practitioner evidence points the same way: automatic fire suppression design improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. The programme is built to be used, and every section of suppression design it covers ends in something applicable. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the occupational health and safety capability sustainable.

Session 2The decisions in suppression design that cannot be delegated

  • Assess long-term health exposure created by automatic fire suppression design and arrange surveillance.
  • Investigate the last incident involving suppression design to root cause, not to immediate cause.
  • Set leading indicators for automatic fire suppression design that predict rather than count.

04

Suppression design: leading indicators, audit and assurance

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Writing a procedure for suppression design people can follow at 3 a.m.

  • Agree what will be standardised in automatic fire suppression design and what will not.
  • Rehearse the emergency and rescue plan for suppression design, do not just publish it.
  • Arrange the handover of automatic fire suppression design so capability survives staff changes.

Session 2Why a good control on suppression design stops being used

  • Build the internal briefing that explains automatic fire suppression design to those affected.
  • Ask the people doing suppression design what makes the procedure hard to follow.
  • Benchmark the organisation's automatic fire suppression design against comparable operations.
  • Define the trigger that would require suppression design to be redesigned.
