Course overview

Knowing how to respond quickly and safely in the event of a fire can help protect people, property, and your workplace. Our Fire Extinguisher Training provides participants with the knowledge and practical skills to identify common classes of fire, select the appropriate extinguisher, and safely use portable fire-fighting equipment in an emergency.

Practical activities provide an opportunity to develop confidence in responding to small, containable fires while maintaining personal safety and following workplace emergency procedures.

This non-accredited course is suitable for employees, workplace emergency personnel, and anyone who may be required to use portable fire equipment as part of their role.
