Course Overview

A procedure for evacuation and emergency execution that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Regulators judge emergency execution on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for this strand of occupational health and safety. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of evacuation and emergency execution rather than to abstract argument. Ambition around the occupational health and safety capability outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. Across sectors, teams that rehearse emergency execution outperform teams that only plan it. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on evacuation and emergency execution and revise it on evidence. The course covers emergency execution at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this strand of occupational health and safety survives a hostile question.
