“Hazard Alley” is the interactive educational section of The Safety Centre.

The objective is to provide hazard awareness by simulated incidents and realistic scenarios to all user groups.

• The building consists of two storeys with conference rooms and the office on the upper floor and the scenarios all on the ground floor.
• All visitors to “Hazard Alley” are briefed prior to their tour of the site.  The children are then put into small groups and taken to visit the scenarios.  A trained guide will lead the group and instigate emergency procedures should it be necessary.
• There are two emergency exits situated inside the main building, and along with the main entrance door, they all allow for wheelchair egress.
• The building is fitted with full automatic fire detection and emergency lighting systems.
• The means of escape are inspected daily.
• All effects used in the scenarios are safe products.
• All systems used in the scenarios are tested on a daily basis.
• All members of staff hold current First Aid Certificates.
• The Fire & Rescue Service and the Centre Management carry out the premises Risk Assessments.
• Teachers are welcome to visit the Centre prior to the young people’s tour.
