The objective of each course is to give delegates all round knowledge of what to do in the event of a fire. Both full and half-day courses are available

The subjects covered include:

What action to take on discovering a fire

How to raise the alarm

What to do when hearing a fire alarm

Who's responsible for calling the emergency services

The location of extinguishers and escape routes

Dealing with disabled persons and evacuation procedures

Specialist training will be given to highlight particular fire risks and methods of fire prevention. These include instruction on the colour coding of fire extinguishers and which type is safe and appropriate to use depending on the fire source.

Every course is reinforced with videos and questionnaires to help delegates retain the information. As part of our comprehensive programme there are also practical demonstrations during which delegates are able to participate in extinguishing a number of controlled fires, using a range of different extinguishers.
