Course Title: Public Safety in Complex and Built Environments

Who Should Attend:   Those with responsibility for managing public safety in these environments, which include transport hubs, ports and stations, shopping and city centre complexes, mass transit systems and stadia. It will suit the needs of anyone responsible for co-ordinating and integrating the safety initiatives and practices of diverse groups of stakeholders, to achieve coherent overall safety policies in environments that attract large numbers of people as part of their normal operations.

Aim: To examine issues relating to the achievement of strategically integrated safety management in complex and built environments.

Objectives: By the end of this event you will be able to:

• Explain the concept and rationale of Integrated Safety Management.
• Identify the challenges inherent in achieving strategic integration in safety planning and recommend ways of overcoming them.
• Examine the implications of recent developments in the fields of CDM and related legislation and practice.
• Analyse the relationships between risk, safety and security in planning for, and responding to, emergencies.
• Describe the potential impact of complex and built environments, and crisis communication, on the behaviour of crowds. 
• Analyse case studies of disasters in complex and built environments and the lessons identified.
• Analyse the human and practical aspects of evacuating large numbers of people from a complex and built facility.

Pre-Requisites:   It is recommended that participants attend the Introduction to Crowd and Event Safety Management course to gain a basic understanding of the overall context of Public Safety. Those with more working experience, and a familiarity with applying the recommendations of the main guidance documents, may choose to progress straight to this course if they so wish. However, the course does assume that such a level of understanding exists.

Progression: Further courses relevant to complex and built environments are under development.
