Course description
Fire Safety Awareness Training - Online Course
This Fire Safety Awareness course explains the conditions which promote fire. It also explains how to prevent fires from starting and what to do should a fire break out.
Training people in fire safety helps them understand the importance of following fire safety measures and means they are less likely to panic in an emergency. They become aware of how they need to act if a fire breaks out, so they can safely and quickly evacuate the premises.
