About the Course

During a workplace fire, it’s best to evacuate safely and quickly. But if you are stuck in an emergency situation involving a fire, or your exit is blocked, you may have to fight the fire yourself until the emergency services arrive.

It’s vital all employees know which fire extinguishers work on which fires so they are able to tackle a blaze and not make it worse.
