Description

Develop an understanding of the nature of fire, identify the potential risks that fire presents and learn how to apply this knowledge practically in a workplace environment.

Fire is an ever-present risk in many workplaces, and when fire does break out and these risks become a reality, sadly the consequences can often prove to be devastating.
