Fire Awareness/Fire extinguisher training
Course Overview
Apart from the fact that it is a legal requirement under the fire precautions (workplace) regulations
1997 amended 1999 that fire safety training is provided to all employees. It has also been proved time and
time again that a well trained workforce not only reduces the risk of fire, but in the event of one, will
respond quickly and effectively to minimize the damage.
Each course is tailored to suit the needs of the company in which it is held, and all courses are
tutored by either experienced firefighters or suitably trained fire trainers.
Each year the correct use of fire extinguishers saves UK businesses millions, preserves lives and
prevents injury. Small fires can spread rapidly and trained staff can help to prevent the escalation of
minor fires.
The First Response Team only use experienced fire training professionals who provide an exciting
training experience using the latest equipment and focusing on the teaching of realistic fire management
techniques. The delegates will be taught the correct selection and use of fire extinguishers via a
practical demonstration where delegates will use a variety of extinguishers in real fire situations.
The course can be customized to suit the fire risks posed by your specific working environment. It
can be run on-site to allow the trainer to gear the course content to your needs.
