No events to show
Description
Journalists and media teams increasingly operate in environments where the risks go far beyond routine reporting. Political unrest, organised crime, public disorder, hostile surveillance, targeted harassment, road traffic incidents, medical emergencies and natural disasters can all place media workers at significant personal risk.
Lazarus Training’s FIRM (Field Incident & Risk Management) course is a comprehensive four-day programme designed to help journalists, producers, camera operators and support staff work more safely in challenging environments whilst maintaining operational effectiveness.
FIRM combines practical safety training with internationally recognised trauma first aid principles, helping participants build confidence, resilience and decision-making skills under pressure.
Designed for Real-World Media Operations
Unlike generic classroom first aid courses, FIRM is built specifically around the realities faced by journalists and media workers.
The programme combines:
- Trauma first aid training
- Personal safety and risk management
- Situational awareness
- Counter-surveillance awareness
- Vehicle and movement safety
- Incident response
- Communications and planning
- Scenario-based exercises
Training is practical, realistic and designed around the operational environments participants may encounter.
