In addition, delegates will be informed on the individual classifications and types of fire, as well as the various types of fire extinguishers and correct equipment to use for different situations. They will be able to describe fire signage, outline a safe fire evacuation procedure, have an awareness of fire assembly points/their location within their own workplace and be competent in applying basic first aid.
