Course overview and learning outcomes

The Regulatory Reform(Fire Safety)Order requires that almost all workplaces undertake a 'suitable and sufficient' fire risk assessment. This is to identify likely hazards and take steps to prevent fire in order to protect the safety of any relevant persons, and should a fire break out, ensure that effective protection measures are in place.

The 3 day course is intended to offer practical hands-on experience in this area and allows delegates to gain experience in undertaking fire risk assessments.

The course is assessed by way of a practical fire risk assessment activity, normally submitted post course.

• Legislative requirements governing the requirement for the FRA process and Fire Safety Management
• Means of escape 
• Human behaviour 
• Principles of risk assessment and the practical process
• Passive and active fire safety overview
• Fire risk assessment – practical exercises

Learning outcomes:

• Knowledge  of current fire safety legislation 
• A wide understanding of workplace fire safety issues
• An understanding of the fire risk assessment process
