Course Overview
Basic fire awareness is the minimum standard all employees must have to comply with legislation whether it is under the Workplace regulations or the new fire safety reform.
It makes sense to have staff trained so that in the event of an emergency no matter how large or small, they will know how to react correctly, and that their actions would not only save their own lives but the lives of their work colleagues.
When at work as opposed to being at home there are certain other factors to take into account when talking about fire safety. The size of the workplace, the process that takes place, the number of people present in the building as well as hazardous materials and all other aspects of being at work increase the risk of incidents happening. Fire safety in the workplace is as important as health and safety and the companies that have the best systems of both usually have the least incidents and accidents.
