Lesson 1For each scenario: root causes analysis (source events, initiating failures, human error, maintenance issues)Tells how to check deep causes for each case, like starting events, machine breaks, people mistakes, group errors, and upkeep problems, using simple tools like 5 Whys and fault trees for lasting fixes.
Identifying initiating events and trigger pathsHuman error and organizational factor analysisMaintenance and inspection related failuresApplying 5 Whys and simple fault treesLinking causes to corrective actionsLesson 2Exposure mapping: who is exposed, where, vulnerable populations (pregnant workers, contractors, night shift)Explains mapping who might face danger in areas, shifts, jobs, focusing on weak groups like pregnant women, outside workers, lone or night staff, for better emergency plans and controls.
Mapping work areas and occupancy patternsIdentifying vulnerable and high‑risk groupsAssessing shift work and lone worker exposureContractor and visitor exposure assessmentLesson 3Consequence estimation: people injury profiles, property and business interruption, environmental discharge and regulatory impactTeaches guessing results for people, things, work stop, and nature, like injury types, damage, lost time, pollution, rule effects, using real guesses and clear notes.
Injury severity profiles and casualty loadsProperty damage and business interruptionEnvironmental release and dispersion pathwaysRegulatory, legal, and reputational impactsLesson 4Existing controls inventory: passive and active controls, permits, housekeeping, PPE, fire extinguishers, exitsLooks at finding and checking current controls like barriers, systems, permits, cleaning, gear, fire tools, exits, seeing if they work well, cover enough, and fix gaps in risk plans.
Cataloging passive and active fire protectionsReviewing permits, signage, and proceduresHousekeeping, storage, and ignition controlPPE availability, suitability, and conditionExits, egress routes, and emergency lightingLesson 5Systematic risk assessment methods: HAZID, HAZOP-lite, job hazard analysis and frequency/severity scoringIntroduces clear risk check ways like HAZID, simple HAZOP, job danger check, scoring how often and how bad, noting guesses, using to pick top fixes and emergency prep.
Overview of qualitative and semi‑quantitative toolsConducting HAZID for fire and spill hazardsUsing HAZOP‑lite for critical operationsJob hazard analysis for emergency scenariosFrequency and severity scoring scalesLesson 6Documenting and citing sources: how to find and reference industry guidance, SDS, NFPA, OSHA/ILO/ISO guidance, and local fire codesShows finding, reading, noting sources like SDS, NFPA, OSHA rules, ILO ISO guides, local fire laws, so risk checks can be followed, up to date, and strong against checks.
Finding and interpreting safety data sheetsUsing NFPA, OSHA, ILO, and ISO resourcesChecking local fire and building code dutiesReferencing guidance in risk assessmentsLesson 7Risk treatment selection: engineered controls, administrative controls, PPE upgrades, ventilation, secondary containment, fire suppression, hot work permitsCovers picking and ordering risk fixes, from built controls, rules, better gear, air flow, holding, fire stop, hot job permits, making sure they work, can be done, match laws.
Hierarchy of controls for emergency risksDesigning engineered and ventilation controlsAdministrative controls and safe work proceduresPPE selection, upgrades, and limitationsSecondary containment and fire suppressionLesson 8Three priority emergency scenarios: fire in production, chemical spill in warehouse, medical emergency in workshop — scenario construction and boundariesGuides making three main emergency cases—factory fire, store spill, shop health issue—setting clear lines, real guesses, growth paths, links to response and business keep-going.
