Our Fire Extinguisher Course is designed for anyone who is expected to respond to a fire alarm or may be confronted by a real fire.
In a controlled environment, delegates will be able to operate various fire extinguishers to put out live fires.
In just 1 hour and 30 minutes, we share a lot of information on the course, although the practical element is the primary focus.
Ensuring your staff are fully trained in the event of a fire is the best way to ensure their protection and safety, as well as that of other occupants within the premises.
If your staff have already received some form of fire training and only need the practical part (which can’t be done online), this course is ideal.
