Fire Safety

Introduction

Fire is the single biggest danger facing people in the work place, and almost all fires are avoidable. Understanding how to prevent fire, and how to tackle small fires, can help save lives and property.

Fire Safety is a simple, easy-to-follow course. It helps employees understand some of the causes of fire in the work place, and explains how to use the correct extinguisher for different types of fire.

Staff who are better equipped to prevent and deal with fires will help ensure the safety of their colleagues and visitors. Their increased awareness could prevent fire-related injuries and fatalities, and costly fire damage.
