Course Description

Fire Safety Management at a Workplace is very key for the safety of employees, and the organizational property. The management of fire risks is a fundamental responsibility for every employer.

For many employers, it is possibly their primary occupational safety and health requirement. A serious fire could destroy a business, but it could also result in the deaths of many innocent people.

Effective fire management is a staged process. The stages are logical and small steps can effectively reduce the risks. Close cooperation between workers, employers, and governments is essential for the successful prevention and control of fire at the workplace.

  • Understand the requirements and guidance documentsย for Means of Escape requirements for Existing Organizations or Factories

Our fire safety training has a duration of at least 2 days with a ratio of 40% theory to 60% practical. Theseย may include PowerPoint presentations, group exercises, breakout sessions (discussions), videos, and practical fire safety and prevention simulations. Participants will extinguish fires with the use of a fire extinguisher, they will also evacuate a building guided by procedure and alert others as recommended.

How Often Should Businesses Provide Fire Safety Training?

Fire safety training should start with induction training on the first day andย continue in the form of regular refresher training.ย It’s important to keep knowledge up to date and front of mind, too.

At least once a year provide refresher fire safety training sessions to make sure that they remain familiar with the fire safety arrangements for the workplace and are reminded of the action to be taken if there is a fire.

Training should be more frequent if:

  • You have a high turnover of staff
  • Your people are responsible for the safety of hotel guests, vulnerable residents, or patients
  • There is a high risk of fire.
