Hi All does any one have any materials that can be used for emergency preparedness training for things like fire, major spillages, environment aspects etc. I have created a power point based around the coy fire and emergency procedures but could do with a few snippets to add some interest etc. thanks in advance

To make it interesting, I think the best way is to have an exercise based on a scenario that could happen in your workplace. This could either be a practical exercise (there's a spill of X over there - act out what you do) or a tabletop exercise (this has happened - what would you do? - and now it's got worse - what would you do now?)

Use examples from real scenarios, there was a fire in a department store many moons ago I remember: http://www.fireservice.c...history/woolworths-fire.Depending on your industry there are many learning lessons from incidents such as Piper Alpha, Flixborough etc.. From an environmental aspect you have Bhopal, minimata, Sveso etc. Des

Have you considered having 'table top' exercises that can be planned through the year. Start off with something simple and allow it to escalate into something more major using the who, what, when, how and why ?
Ensure a decent debrief & post exercise statement is circulated highlighting both positive and improvement areas. I expect the board would enjoy this and good CSR brownie points could be gained!

If you have a business contingency / emergency plan, develop a table top or role play exercise around it....test it, would it work in reality...do those named in the plan know what their role is....is it factually correct, do people named still work for you, changed office, location, phone numbers etc etc.?
A word of caution.....I once used footage from the Bradford Fire disaster - well intentioned and a lot of lessons to be learned, unfortunately despite being some 200 miles away, it had a major impact on learners and I had to work hard to get learners back on track after exposure to traumatic material.
Good luck with your training

Consider how to evacaute.
If there is immeadiate danager such as fire, use the fire alarm.
However in other situations, using the fire alarm might result in directing personnel into the danager area. For example with a spillage you might want personnel to avoid a specific area or in the event of a bomb threat, you do not want people to assemble at the normal assembly points as a malicious individual might have planted the device or a secondary device at that point.
In these situations use other means such as a tannoy if you have one to give clear instructions on how to evacaute and where to assemble etc.
