Estimate what fire prevention and evacuation costs to run properly, and what is lost when it is not.
Fire Prevention and Safe Evacuation Strategies
A structured, applied course in fire prevention and evacuation — designed to be used the week you return.
Course Overview
A procedure for fire prevention and evacuation that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Safety performance on prevention and evacuation degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place this area of occupational health and safety among the areas with the widest performance spread. Participants apply fire prevention and evacuation to their own work site throughout, so the output is directly usable. It is designed for mixed groups, so that the occupational health and safety discipline is examined from more than one functional angle. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in prevention and evacuation, not around theory headings. They acquire practical criteria for judging when fire prevention and evacuation is working and when it is only appearing to. Plans for prevention and evacuation often fail at the handover point between functions. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this part of occupational health and safety that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
