Overview

What this course covers

Every workplace depends on staff who understand how fire starts, spreads and is stopped, because a calm and informed response saves lives when seconds matter. This programme walks learners through fire chemistry, extinguisher classes and the everyday habits that keep a site safe from accidental ignition.

Beyond prevention, the course prepares staff to act correctly once an alarm sounds, from raising the alert to assisting a safe evacuation. It suits any employer needing to demonstrate compliance with fire safety law, and benefits fire wardens, supervisors and general staff alike.
