Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
Fires, gas leaks, bomb threats, chemical releases, severe weather and violent incidents can all require people to leave a building quickly or to remain safely inside it. The right decision, made quickly and executed calmly, saves lives, while confusion and poor planning can turn an incident into a tragedy.
This Evacuation and Shelter-in-Place Planning training course provides a complete approach to planning protective actions for buildings and sites. Participants learn how to assess threats, design evacuation routes and assembly points, plan for people with disabilities and visitors, establish shelter-in-place and lockdown procedures, organise warden teams and run drills.
The course combines regulatory good practice, human behaviour in emergencies and practical planning tools that can be applied to offices, industrial sites, campuses and public venues.
