Safety in the Workplace

Practical Fire Extinguisher Training Course
Course code AFS/005 - duration 1½ - 2hrs The course is designed to raise awareness concerning the behaviour of people in a fire and the threat posed by fire to people and the continuity of your business. It will help support an essential part of your legal responsibilities and provide specific members of your staff with the practical skills concerning the selection and safe use of the fire extinguishers appropriate to your risk. Included in the session and of equal importance is advice on when not to use extinguishers.

SAFETY IS NO ACCIDENT

We will only use a Hot Fire - Clean Burn training simulator that is propane fuelled and requires no handling of solid combustion materials or liquid fuel (we wont make you dance in burning petrol! or pollute the air with burning wood, cardboard and diesel etc).

The business focus will be tailored to suit your specific requirements and circumstances; ie. residential care, hotel, office, industrial, nuclear power station, etc.

The objective is that at the end of the course you will:

• Have a greater understanding of the fire precautions that are built into your workplace
• Recognise the threat posed by fire to people, property and jobs
• Understand the hazards of fire and firefighting
• Understand the limitations of 1st Aid firefighting equipment and recognise when it is necessary to abandon such activities
• Distinguish between the different types of extinguishers and the fires for which they are suited.
• Demonstrate an understanding of the nature and behaviour of fire
• Have the confidence to tackle a fire safely

The Structure will include:

• The nature and behaviour of fire
• Human behaviour in fire
• The principles of fire safety design
• What to do in the event of fire
• Methods of extinction and the application of fire fighting equipment
• Controlled real fire extinguisher training

We prefer to limit the number of delegates per course in order to maintain the quality of our Training Programme and to guarantee full understanding of the subject through individual attention.

All of our courses are progressive and can be linked to your own development programme.
