Basic Fire Safety Awareness

Course details

The risk of fire is one of the greatest dangers in the workplace due to the potential of huge damage at great speed.  

There are a variety of reasons why fires start but many of them can be avoided through an understanding of how to manage fire risk. This is increasingly important as fire authorities no longer issue fire certificates and those previously in force have no legal status. The emphasis is now on individual businesses to manage any fire risk in their premises so a clear understanding of how to ensure your business complies with Fire Safety legislation is fundamentally essential.  

COURSE OBJECTIVE | To improve fire safety by complementing your Fire Action Plan training with learning objectives on fire prevention and mitigation.
