ONGOING PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE TRAINING

Risks in fire brigade diving

Theory and virtual training

CODE

BRW-WO.02

Learn from what went wrong, so it does not happen again. We discuss real (near-)accidents, reports and the risk inventory and evaluation (RI&E) — and translate the lessons into your own operations.

What will you learn?

  • Discuss reports and investigations into fire brigade diving operations and name the lessons learned
  • Analyse (near-)accidents for causes and control measures
  • Discuss the RI&E for fire brigade diving and translate it to your own operations
  • Demonstrate safety awareness by recognising risks in advance

Can be extended with (optional)

  • Case discussion following “Tweede orde leren” (second-order learning; Brandweeracademie, 2018)
  • Apply the Arbocatalogus WOD-SOE (SWOD) to a case from your own region
  • Draft a short (near-)accident report

About the training

Learning from incidents: in this theory session, reports and investigations into (near-)accidents are discussed, as is the RI&E for fire brigade diving. The session follows the report “Tweede orde leren van (bijna-)ongevallen bij waterongevallenbeheersing” (Brandweeracademie, 2018).

Duration
1 half-day session (approx. 4 hours), including evaluation and logbook registration.
Target group
Registered fire brigade divers and dive team leaders. For both roles, the session counts as an exercise moment within the registration period.
Required per 2 years
fire brigade diver 2, dive team leader 2
Location
Theory room — BC-opleidingen, Enkhuizen

What does the law require?

Fire brigade divers and dive team leaders have been registered with the NIPV since 1 October 2024. To keep your registration, you show every two years, with your logbook, that you have practised enough. The industry guideline on ongoing professional competence (2026) determines which exercises these are. At BC-opleidingen every course follows that guideline, and you receive the right code for your logbook.
