The Fire Scenario Training, delivered by the Safety Office and First for Safety Oxfordshire, provides a tailored, in-situ learning experience to departments in all applicable buildings. The course format is split into three sections:
- Technical session:

- Full evacuation drill:

- investigation
- sweep and assist
- information-gathering
- Practical session:

Upon being the first department to undertake this training, Fatai Lawal, Head of Facilities Management at Pitt Rivers Museum, commented:
‘We found the session valuable in strengthening our emergency preparedness. It was a success!’
Departments can book online up to three years in advance, and a pre-course on-site meeting will explain the course format and agree specific areas to be covered. The presentation below provides further details of the course, including a comprehensive set of FAQs.
