When an alarm goes off in a sensitive facility, the difference between an orderly evacuation and a chaotic one comes down to a plan that was rehearsed long before the emergency happened. This Arab British Fellowship Training Academy course trains security staff and facility managers to build that plan: securing the site itself, then knowing exactly what to do the moment something goes wrong.

The course pairs day-to-day protective measures — perimeter security, surveillance, shift planning — with the emergency-response side: evacuation routing, crisis communication, and coordinating the different roles a facility relies on when time is short.

Who Should Attend?

• Security personnel and security supervisors working within sensitive facilities.
• Facility and operations managers at organisations of varying sizes.
• Anyone wishing to build a stronger sense of premises-security and emergency-response practice.
• Professionals looking to update their knowledge of current evacuation and crisis-handling standards.

Knowledge and Benefits:

By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:

• Secure a facility from both internal and external threats, including lighting, data-gathering and shift organisation.
• Define the roles of security officers and supervisors within a facility's protection plan.
• Design and rehearse evacuation routes, exit rules, and alternative escape means.
• Test emergency plans in advance so weaknesses are found before a real incident, not during one.

Module 1: Securing the Facility Itself

• Internal and external protection of the target premise.
• Lighting, surveillance and data-gathering to support protection.
• Dividing security work into shifts.

Module 2: Roles, Communication and Control

• Main responsibilities of security officers and the supervisor's role.
• Providing the right security equipment for the facility.
• Wired and wireless communication during operations.

Module 3: Planning the Way Out

• Organising departure plans and rules for leaving the premise.
• Alternative escape routes, including windows and back exits.
• Anticipating risks before they occur.

Module 4: Testing the Plan Under Pressure

• Rehearsing plans before an error happens, to expose their weak points.
• Behaving correctly in sudden, unplanned situations.

Module 5: When Medical Emergencies Are Part of the Crisis

• The growing role of emergency-medicine departments in handling on-site crises.
• Managing severe and sudden medical cases (e.g. hypertensive emergencies, diabetic comas, major injuries).
• Coordinating with hospitals during an evacuation or major incident.
