Learning Objectives
• Perform a cost-benefit analysis.• Describe the relationship of training to the safety and
health program.• Describe the process for developing standard
operating procedures.

Introduction
• Essential elements of a successful program– Setting of goals and objectives– Action planning– Overcoming barriers– Performing a cost–benefit analysis– Relating the training program to the goals of the safety
program– Developing standard operating procedures
• Information for Life Safety Initiatives 1, 3, 9, and 11 are presented
10-4
Essential Elements
• Top management that is committed to the program• A safety and health program manager• A comprehensive risk management plan• A safety and health policy• Record-keeping system for data analysis

Setting Goals andObjectives of the Program
• First step is to determine goals – Broad based statements– Measurable outcome and time frame– Developed by the safety program manager and/or the Safety
Committee
• Objectives– Specific statements of action– Will provide the road-map to reach a goal– Measurable and include reasonable time frames
10-8
Action Planning
• Several components to be considered– List the goal and objective that it is designed for
• Team member’s names
– Be developed by the team that has been assigned the objective
– Should contain very specific step-by-step actions– Often set up in tabular form
Cont. 10-9
Cost-Benefit Analysis
• Shows initial outlay will save in future reduction of risk– Some assumptions must be made– Sometimes the data are based on estimations
• Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of a program– Describe, numerically, the cost of the risk currently– Determine cost of the risk after implementation– Determine whether this measure would be effective from a
purely cost standpoint
10-11
Training
• Direct and close relationship between training and safety
• Training officer or division– Assumes program functions
• Minimum level of training• Ensures responders can
– Handle incident safely– Recognize dangers
10-13
Training-Related NFPA Standards
• NFPA 1401 Recommended Practice for Fire Service Training Reports and Records
• NFPA 1402 Guide to Building Fire Service Training Centers
• NFPA 1403 Standard on Live Fire Training Evolutions• NFPA 1404 Standard for Fire Service Respiratory
Protection Training
