Hot Awareness & Explosive Threat Management
A practical two hour webinar designed to help businesses, venues, schools, charities and event organisers recognise suspicious items, understand hostile threat indicators and respond safely and proportionately to potential explosive threats. Built around nationally recognised HOT principles and real world incident awareness, this session helps organisations strengthen staff confidence, improve reporting and support safer decision making during uncertain or high pressure situations.
Course Overview
The HOT Awareness & Explosive Threat Management Webinar provides organisations with a practical introduction to suspicious package awareness, hostile threat recognition and the safe management of potential explosive related incidents.
In today’s environment, staff and organisations are increasingly expected to recognise concerning behaviour, identify suspicious items and understand how to respond appropriately while maintaining public safety and minimising unnecessary panic. This webinar breaks down those expectations into practical, understandable guidance that can be applied across workplaces, public spaces, events, hospitality settings, schools and venues.
The session explores the HOT principles used nationally within protective security awareness training, alongside practical guidance surrounding explosive threat management, decision making, communication and immediate actions during suspicious item or bomb threat incidents.
Rather than fear driven messaging, the webinar focuses on calm, proportionate and practical awareness that helps organisations improve preparedness, strengthen reporting cultures and support safer operational responses.
