Principles of Fire & Explosion Hazard Management
Course Description
An understanding of the principles of fires and explosions are critical to identifying how a fire will start and spread, the former of which is known as primary fire hazards, each of which has the ability to initiate or start a fire, or exacerbate a fire.
The Training Course Will Highlight ?

The elements will be required when completing a fire risk assessment. Explosion and fire are interlinked in that on many occasions; fire occurs after an explosion, it is therefore essential that those involved with fire safety and risk management have a basic knowledge of the causes and properties of explosion, particularly in relation to processes involving gases and dusts which will be thoroughly covered in this course

Training Objective

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

  • Understand the properties of flammable and explosive materials and the mechanisms by which they ignite
  • Outline the behavior of structural materials, buildings and contents in a fire
  • Identify the main principles and practices of fire and explosion prevention and protection
  • Outline the contribution to mechanical and systems failures to major accidents
  • Explain the processes involved in the identification of hazards and the assessment of risk from fire
  • Describe common fire detection and alarm systems and procedures
  • Learn the factors to be considered when selecting fixed and portable fire­fighting equipment for the various types of fire
  • Outline the factors to be considered in the provision and maintenance of means of escape
  • Explain the purpose of, and essential requirements for, emergency evacuation procedures
