Fire Extinguisher Awareness Training

We are all required by current legislation to provide training for our employees the actions to be taken in the event of a fire. This can range from basic fire safety awareness, to the practical use of fire extinguishers and the management of a fire situation with fire warden training. These programmes will look at your evacuation procedures, practical fire prevention and fire fighting techniques.

This will give your staff a greater awareness of the hazards a fire will present to us, and increase their knowledge in practical fire safety measures, and perhaps most importantly give them the opportunity to use a fire extinguisher on a real fire under the safest of conditions using our Live Fire Training Unit.

All programmes can be tailored specifically to the needs of your organisation.
