Emergency Planning: Practical Salvaging Collections Training Day at RAF College Cranwell
Please note this is an in-person training event
This one day practical training course will help organisations to improve their emergency preparedness, by using multiple case studies and practical experiences to highlight key components for successful disaster response. The content is applicable for organisations that have yet to write a plan, in highlighting key content for Accreditation and best practice, but also for those who already have a plan to identify areas for improvement.
Delegates will gain experience of salvaging real objects from the collections at RAF College Cranwell, including how to handle collections safely during an emergency situation. The day will also cover key elements of salvage techniques for dealing with damaged objects and provide blueprints for extending the training within attendees’ organisations. Hazel Crozier, College Curator will lead a tour of College Hall to familiarise delegates with the layout ahead of the practical activities.
There will also be a session led by Peter Vanhuysse, Fire Service Manager at RAF College Cranwell, on how fire develops, smoke damage, collapse and water damage. This will take place in the Breathing Apparatus Training Facility on the station and include a practical demonstration of burning objects. These will NOT be objects from the collections of course.
