Why Study Fire Safety?

The safety of employees and visitors should be a top priority for all employers.  However, workplace fire safety can only be achieved when each and every member of the workforce plays a part.  Employees at all levels need to understand their roles, responsibilities and obligations from a health and safety perspective. This entry-level fire safety course provides a detailed overview of the essentials of everyday fire safety.  Key topics covered include fire risk factors, the use of portable firefighting equipment, raising the alarm upon discovering a fire and the basics of fire chemistry. From business owners to senior managers to members of the workforce at all levels, a good grasp of key fire safety principles is essential.  This course therefore comes highly recommended to anyone looking to play a more decisive role in keeping their workplace safe for employees and visitors alike.

By the end of this course the learner will be able to:

  • sources of ignition include heaters, lighting, naked flames, electrical equipment,
  • smokers' materials (cigarettes, matches etc), and anything else that can get very hot or cause sparks
  • sources of fuel include wood, paper, plastic, rubber or foam, loose packaging materials, waste rubbish and furniture
