In a nutshell

What this course aims to achieve

In-house first-response training

First-response training delivered on the client's own site, using their extinguishers, hose reels, signage and instructions. Trainees practise in the very premises where they may have to act.

Key challenges

An employee trained at a centre knows how to use an extinguisher; trained on their own site, they know where it is. The difference plays out in the first thirty seconds.
Every site has its own traps: a store of flammables behind an ordinary-looking door, a hose reel whose hose does not reach around the workstation.
On-site training almost always reveals organisational gaps — an out-of-date instruction, a moved extinguisher, an obstructed exit — that off-site training cannot show.

Learning objectives

Identify the fire risks specific to one's own establishment
Locate the actual firefighting means and escape routes
Apply the safety instructions in force on the site
Use the first-response equipment present in the premises
Report the discrepancies observed during the exercise

Detailed programme

5Live-fire extinguishing exercises using the site's own equipment
6A scenario in the real premises, specific to the activity
7Reporting to management the organisational gaps observed

All of an establishment's staff, trained in successive groups
The site's appointed first-response team members
Sites whose layout or risks cannot be reproduced at a training centre

Scope of application

In-house first-response training. It contributes to the employer's duties to inform and train employees on safety, the extent of which varies by country and type of premises. Organisational gaps noted during the session are reported but do not constitute a compliance audit.
