About the Course

Fire is a significant risk in the workplace - it has the potential to kill or injure large numbers of people very quickly and damage or destroy property. Fire safety management is essential to ensure: Fires are unlikely to occur; if they do occur, they are more likely to be contained; if they cannot be contained, everyone can escape safely. As a fire warden, it is important to know your role in fire safety management.
