Fire Safety
Target Group
All employees working within the company.
The aim of the course is to give employees a basic understanding of fire and fire safety. At the end of the course we offer a practical “hands on” session where trainees will be able to use an extinguisher and understand how it works. There will also be a demonstration (if possible) as to what happens when water is applied to a chip pan fire.
