Work Place Safety
Course trains participants to deal with fire on an emergency basis. It emphasises the dangers of fire, the importance of prevention, and the necessity of urgent action when fire breaks out. An important feature of the course is the practical use of the live fire demo unit, which allows the instructor to demonstrate most fire sources and the participants to use fire extinguishers, including many specific fire hazards in the workplace. The course will show employees and management how to lift correctly and therefore avoid back injuries.
