Every delegate gets the opportunity to tackle a real fire with an extinguisher

A mixture of theory and practical fire safety training gives delegates confidence

The objective of each course is to give delegates all round knowledge of what to do in the event of a fire.

Venue: In House

1/2 day course

Course cost: £508.00

Max number of delegates: 20

Both full and half-day courses are available, however Emtech recommends a full day course for inexperienced personnel and those responsible as Fire Wardens / Marshals. The subjects covered include:

What action to take on discovering a fire

• How to raise the alarm
• What to do when hearing a fire alarm
• Who’s responsible for calling the emergency services
• The location of extinguishers and escape routes
• Dealing with disabled persons and evacuation procedures

Specialist training will be given to highlight particular fire risks and methods of fire prevention. These include instruction on the colour coding of fire extinguishers and which type is safe and appropriate to use depending on the fire source.

Every course is reinforced with videos and questionnaires to help delegates retain the information. As part of our comprehensive programme there are also practical demonstrations during which delegates are able to participate in extinguishing a number of controlled fires, using a range of different extinguishers.

Training may be arranged by contacting the Training Department on 0870 850 2061.  Where training cannot be carried out at a customer’s premises then an alternate choice of hotel training is available.

Notes:
_{a) When using customer’s own facilities it is essential that a suitable room is available.
b) If the location is not equipped with an OHP, TV or a video, we can provide equipment.
c) A suitable area for the practical session is required, ideally this should be on hard standing away from buildings and parked vehicles.
d) These training sessions are normally limited to a maximum of 20 delegates. This ensures that all delegates are given an opportunity to use fire extinguishers on controlled fires during the practical session.
e) Practical training sessions can be tailored to support customers own theoretical training sessions.}
