Fire Safety & Risk Management
Master the Art and Science of Risk Leadership
3-Day CPD Accredited Professional Course
Fire remains one of the most critical and underestimated risks across industries. When fire safety is poorly managed, the consequences are immediate and devastating—loss of life, destruction of assets, regulatory enforcement, insurance exposure, and long-term reputational damage.
The Fire Safety & Risk Management CPD Accredited Course equips professionals with the technical expertise, regulatory insight, and leadership capability required to anticipate, prevent, and respond effectively to fire risks across complex operating environments. Grounded in international standards and real-world incidents from Europe, the UK, the Middle East, and Africa, this course ensures learning translates directly into operational and governance-level impact.
📌 Duration: 3 Days (08:30–16:30 daily)
📌 Level: Intermediate to Advanced
📌 Delivery: Face-to-Face | Virtual | Hybrid
📌 Accreditation: CPD Accredited (Certificate of Completion)
Course Content Overview
Day 1 – Foundations of Fire Risk Management
Theme: Understanding Fire Risks, Regulations, and Assessment
Participants develop a solid grounding in fire dynamics, legislative frameworks, and structured fire risk assessment methodologies. High-profile incidents such as Grenfell Tower are used to highlight governance failures and assessment lessons.
Key focus areas include fire science, international standards (NFPA, BS 9999, ISO 23932), and practical risk assessment tools.
Day 2 – Fire Protection Systems & Policy Development
Theme: Engineering Solutions, Safety Design, and Governance
Day two focuses on the selection, evaluation, and governance of active and passive fire protection systems, inspection and maintenance regimes, and the development of robust fire safety policies.
Real-world case analysis, including the Dubai Torch Tower fires, highlights how design decisions, materials, and governance failures can escalate fire risk.
Day 3 – Emergency Planning, Audit Readiness & Leadership
Theme: Building Resilience, Compliance, and Safety Culture
The final day brings fire risk management into operational reality—emergency planning, drills, crisis leadership, regulatory audits, and organisational culture.
Participants complete a capstone simulation involving a warehouse fire scenario in Sub-Saharan Africa, presenting emergency plans and compliance documentation to simulated auditors.
Assessment & Certification
Assessment is practical, applied, and aligned with CPD expectations:
-
Knowledge: Daily quizzes and written reflections
-
Skills: Fire risk assessments, system evaluations, policy drafting, and emergency planning exercises
-
Final Evaluation: 20-question exam (MCQ and scenario-based) plus group presentation with facilitator feedback
Successful participants receive a FRISK CPD Accredited Certificate of Completion.
Why This Course Matters
Regulators, insurers, and stakeholders increasingly expect organisations to demonstrate competence, accountability, and resilience in fire safety—not just compliance on paper. Failures in fire risk management are now routinely linked to executive liability, criminal prosecution, and insurance refusal.
This course enables organisations to move beyond reactive fire safety approaches and embed fire risk management into business continuity, governance, and ESG strategies. Participants leave with the confidence to engage regulators, insurers, auditors, and senior leadership with authority.
What You’ll Gain
By completing this course, participants will be able to:
✔ Conduct and document structured fire risk assessments aligned with international standards
✔ Interpret and apply global and regional fire safety legislation and codes
✔ Evaluate and manage active and passive fire protection systems
✔ Develop fire safety policies integrated with HSE, ESG, and operational KPIs
✔ Lead emergency planning, evacuations, and crisis communication
✔ Demonstrate audit readiness and reduce regulatory and insurance risk
✔ Embed fire safety into organisational resilience and safety culture
Who Should Attend
