Fire Prevention and Management
Essential skills and knowledge for preventing and managing fires effectively
Course Overview
Learn essential skills to prevent and manage fires effectively.
Prevention
Understand fire hazards and how to reduce risks in daily environments.
Response
Learn how to react quickly and safely when a fire breaks out.
Master evacuation plans and communication during emergencies.
Management
This one-day programme provides port supervisors, managers, and H&S professionals with the strategic oversight required to manage fire risks in workplace environments.
Built upon UK and international regulations, standards and best practice, the curriculum focuses on the "ground truth" of workplace fire hazards, where diverse factors often create unique ignition profiles.
Participants will explore the science of fire ignition, fire spread, and fire control. We also look at the fire risks of lithium-ion battery storage and use.
The course establishes a robust framework for operational control, treating fire prevention as a commercial necessity and a critical component of any business.
Attendees will learn to apply the hierarchy of risk control to hazardous material segregation and the proactive monitoring of site-wide technical ignition sources. By identifying the human factors and psychological pre-conditions - such as the "normalisation of deviance" in housekeeping - that lead to the failure of established controls, this programme provides the strategic "shield" required to protect personnel, assets, and business continuity.
