AIMS & OBJECTIVES

The NEBOSH International Fire Safety and Risk Management Certificate is designed to equip duty holders to help their organisations to meet the legal duties placed upon them by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 .

A fire can have a devastating effect on an organisation. 77% of businesses experiencing a major fire never fully recover. The updated duties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 place the responsibility on employers and those in control of premises to ensure that they assess fire risks and take steps to minimise those risks and safeguard people in the event of a fire.

COURSE CONTENT

This tuition unit is the 2nd unit of the Fire Safety and Risk Management certificate course (IFC1).

The first unit (IGC1) forms part-1 of the NEBOSH International General Certificate, "Management of Health and Safety", which should be completed before undertaking this course.

This unit covers the management of health and safety in particular relation to fire safety including legal requirements. It includes principles of fire and explosion, causes and prevention of fires, fire protection in buildings and ensuring the safety of people in the event of fire. The course unit covers the following elements:

• Managing Fire Safety
• Principles of Fire and Explosion
• Causes and prevention of fires
• Fire protection in buildings
• Safety of people inthe event of a fire
• Fire Risk Assessment

TARGET AUDIENCE

Managers and supervisory staff who need to ensure that their organisation meets its responsibilities under fire safety legislation. This course will equip duty holders to carry out fire risk assessments of most low risk workplaces and identify the range of fire protective and preventative measures required. It is therefore also suitable for people moving into fire safety adviser roles.

The syllabus is based on the UK's National Occupational Standards in Fire Safety at level 3, which has common units with the Emergency Fire Services National Occupational Standards. Therefore the NEBOSH International Fire Safety and Risk Management Certificate may also be of benefit to fire service personnel developing their underpinning knowledge as part of an Integrated Personal Development System.

PRE-COURSE PREPARATION

Candidates must have already achieved the International General Certificate Unit 1 (IGC1) either on its own or as part of the International General Certificate course within the last five years.

CERTIFICATION

Delegates who successfully complete the 2 hour written paper (IFC1), plus a practical assessment (IFC2) will receive a NEBOSH Fire Safety and Risk Management Certificate.
