A SAMPLE OF THE APPROACH

Start with understanding.

Fire needs fuel, oxygen and sufficient heat or ignition. Workplace prevention focuses on controlling the combinations that can occur in the actual process. Consider waste, flammable liquids, hot work, electrical defects and heat-producing equipment. A tidy appearance alone does not prove fire risk is controlled.

Then make a decision.

An alarm sounds during an office refurbishment. A contractor wants to collect tools. The usual exit is blocked with materials. Someone suggests using the lift. No one has checked in with the assembly coordinator.

Discuss: What are the facts, what could go wrong, and what must be verified before proceeding?

Make it specific to your workplace.

  • Alarm signals and emergency contact details
  • Escape routes, assembly points and assistance arrangements
  • Firefighting policy, hot-work controls and incident command

Before deployment, confirm these details with the client’s responsible technical reviewer. The course is a starting point for awareness learning, not a replacement for approved work procedures.
