Help the team recognise when to stop and escalate.
An awareness session is intended for people whose normal job is not explosive ordnance disposal. The content should be matched to the work, the site and the assessment, with clear limits on what attendees are expected to do. It does not qualify people to handle, investigate or dispose of ordnance.
We scope sessions for contractors, project managers and site teams, with the delivery format and supporting material agreed in advance. Site briefings and toolbox talks can support wider training but should remain consistent with the project’s approved procedures. Any specialist IMAS-related training needs a separate competence and course specification review.
What the scope can include
- A session outline matched to the audience and site
- Plain-language explanation of relevant UXO terminology
- Discussion of agreed reporting and escalation procedures
- Attendance record and agreed supporting material
What we need from you
- Attendee roles and experience
- Site assessment and existing procedures
- Preferred delivery format and location
- Number of attendees and programme
Does attendance provide an EOD qualification?
No. Awareness training is not an EOD qualification or an accreditation. Specialist competence requires separate training, assessment and task-specific authorisation.
