Overview:
The aim of this course is to provide a working knowledge of the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005, and how to carry out a fire risk assessment in accordance with these Regulations.
Aims & Objectives:
The requirement, under the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order, for organisations to undertake their own fire risk assessments has been probably one of the most far reaching health, safety and building security requirements in recent years.
This course will enable delegates to develop a working understanding of the
fire risk assessment process and the control measures that can be taken to
ensure any potential risks can mitigated. The course programme includes several
practical workshops which will enable delegates to develop risk assessment
skills.
