Most responders are unsure of the hazards and risks when first arriving at an incident scene on the rail network and may benefit from furthering their skills in situational awareness, better risk management and safer inter-agency working.

This course is designed especially to enable fire fighters and other first line responders to operate safely at the scene of a rail incident. Delegates will learn how to implement a safety management system for rail-related incidents providing all-hazard competence.

Delivered by tutors with a high level of relevant experience, the course is underpinned by evidence gathered through questions and immersive, interactive exercises.

Upon successful completion of the course assessment, candidates will achieve a recognised qualification in managing a rail incident.

Delivery of the course will include a mixture of theoretical input, case studies and classroom based exercises.

This qualification is validated by a 30 minute written assessment, with formative assessment throughout the course by the trainer.
