Balance security requirements in explosive threat and evacuation planning against operational practicality.
Planning for Explosive Threat Scenarios and Evacuation
Develop the judgement and the documentation needed to run explosive threat and evacuation planning properly.
Course Overview
Guard force performance on explosive threat and evacuation planning reflects supervision, not instruction. Most security failures involving evacuation planning exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. The programme converts the corporate security practice capability from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of explosive threat and evacuation planning and supervised application. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for this area of corporate security practice. Applied research in corporate security practice consistently shows that early structure around evacuation planning reduces downstream rework. Most organisations already have a policy on explosive threat and evacuation planning; far fewer can show it working. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about evacuation planning under scrutiny. The final session converts the week's work on the corporate security practice capability into commitments with owners and dates.
