Professional Diploma Course | Duration: 6 Months

 Course Introduction

The Diploma in Fire Safety, Emergency & Disaster Management is designed to develop professional knowledge and practical competencies in fire prevention, fire protection, emergency preparedness, emergency response, disaster risk reduction, crisis management, evacuation planning, workplace safety, and organizational resilience.

The course focuses on developing competent fire safety, emergency response, and disaster management professionals who can identify fire and emergency hazards, assess risks, establish fire prevention measures, coordinate emergency response activities, develop evacuation procedures, and support organizational disaster preparedness.

Participants will learn how to conduct fire risk assessments, inspect fire protection systems, manage firefighting equipment, develop emergency response plans, organize fire drills, coordinate evacuation activities, manage emergency response teams, investigate fire incidents, and implement corrective and preventive actions.

The course also covers fire science, fire behaviour, fire detection and alarm systems, firefighting systems, electrical fire safety, industrial fire hazards, hazardous materials emergencies, first aid awareness, emergency communication, business continuity, natural disaster preparedness, and post-disaster recovery.

With particular emphasis on Bangladesh's industrial, commercial, RMG, textile, manufacturing, and institutional environments, participants will gain practical knowledge of applicable fire safety requirements, Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC), Fire Prevention and Extinction Act, 2003, relevant Fire Service and Civil Defence requirements, occupational health and safety responsibilities, and internationally recognized fire safety practices.

The course will also introduce relevant international standards and frameworks, including NFPA standards, ISO 45001 principles, ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management, and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.

Through practical exercises, fire risk assessment, workplace inspections, emergency simulations, evacuation planning, disaster case studies, incident investigation, assignments, and emergency response drills, participants will develop the skills required to prevent fire incidents, minimize emergency risks, protect lives and property, and strengthen organizational emergency preparedness.
