Course Description

Lately, the increased numbers of fires in companies and business establishments on the national level have been accompanied by increased losses and casualties. Such losses were attributed to the lack of training on fire safety measures and firefighting within establishments. This training course aims to alleviate preventive awareness of employees working within different establishments in a practical way. The course also instructs participants on how to properly use fire extinguishers through a simulation of a fire fighting procedure. Participants are introduced to the different firefighting systems if the establishment was not found to apply any of those systems
