Specialist consulting firm BB7 is running a one-day course called Implementing Fire Risk Management Systems.
Taking place on 19 November the CPD-accredited course is aimed at anyone with responsibility for fire safety procedures at a commercial or residential building or site, particularly if they’ve formalised their fire risk management system or feel their systems are haphazard or inconsistent.
BB7 is seeking to combat the management failings at the root of most non-domestic multi-fatality fires. In fact, management is often more crucial to fire risk than the level of fire protection, the consultancy argues. “A building with first-rate fire precautions yet poor management may pose a greater risk than a building with limited fire precautions and good management,” suggests the firm in its promotional material for the course.
This interactive training day is designed to help delegates understand the requirements of a structured fire risk management system. Thus enabling delegates to develop a bespoke FRM system; utilising a model which offers a structure but allows flexibility to fit in to all organisations.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to recognise the importance of the Fire Safety Policy Statement, as the “keystone” of the FRMS and of an indicator of management commitment to:
