This basic fire training will build confidence in  attempting to extinguish a fire in the correct circumstances.  

Evacuation Planning forms the third and final module of this comprehensive skills program. This  course is designed to help delegates understand the importance of emergency preparedness and  conducting bi-annual or regular evacuation drills in the workplace. On completion of the course, you  will understand the need for regular mock evacuation drills, evacuation floor plans, key personnel  responsibilities, how to call for emergency interventions, and how to manage an evacuation under  different scenarios
