PER PERSON*
Fire can devastate a workplace in seconds – putting people at risk, destroying valuable assets, and causing significant disruption. Fire Safety Awareness training helps individuals recognise the risks, understand their responsibilities, and respond effectively in the event of an emergency. It’s a legal requirement for businesses to ensure staff are trained in fire safety procedures, and this course helps meet that obligation while promoting a culture of safety and prevention in the workplace.
