Course description
Awareness is the key to prevention!

Throughout the evolution of human civilization, fires have caused the loss of human lives, wealth and infrastructure. Although the advancement in technology and the scientific method has brought out many positive changes in dealing with fires, there is still room for improvement.
Loopholes in managing and implementing the rules and regulations regarding fire safety are one of the biggest concerns regarding public security in various countries. Even wealthy countries like the United States face these issues daily. The losses that occur due to fires in industrialized nations and developing countries are monetary and incur damage to basic infrastructure. Moreover, these incidents can leave an everlasting psychological impact on the victims.
Enterprises and businesses worldwide understand the importance of maintaining a robust fire safety and risk management system. For this purpose, management will seek someone well-versed in fire safety and risk management because these individuals understand the gravity of the consequences they will face in the event of a fire
Fires are deadly for an organization’s financial stability and progress and can also distort its public image. This attitude is often due to people’s assumption that the business was careless about their safety and their employees’ safety, damaging its reputation.
