Fire Safety Awareness

Fire is one of the most serious risks in any hazardous environment, fast-moving, unpredictable, and potentially life-threatening. Ensuring your team knows how to prevent, detect, and respond to fire is critical to protecting both people and operations. 

This course provides vital knowledge about fire safety in hazardous industries. It covers the fundamentals of fire behaviour and spread, the principles of prevention, and how to respond in an emergency. 

Developed for sectors such as energy, maritime, engineering, and construction, the course includes interactive content on the fire triangle, extinguisher types, contingency planning, and fixed suppression systems, alongside practical decision-making scenarios.

This training is suitable for:

• Workers operating in high-risk or hazardous environments
• Supervisors or team leads responsible for fire safety procedures
• Staff in roles involving potential fire hazards, such as hot work or confined spaces

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

LO1: Explain the types of fire, state of material and the influence of the size of surface

LO2: Explain the requirements for fire and the fire triangle

LO3: Explain the contributing factors of fire combustion and spread

LO4: Identify the various types of fire gases within hazardous industries

LO5: Explain contingency plans

LO6: Explain how to assess a fire

LO7: Identify the various classes of fire and associated means of suppression

LO8: Explain how to safely use different extinguisher types

LO9: Explain good practice for fire prevention

LO10: Describe the fixed systems in place for fire prevention

LO11: Explain the importance of pre-use inspection of firefighting equipment

LO12: Describe the correct use of firefighting equipment
