Fire Awareness TrainingFire training is required for most employees, depending on the findings of your fire risk assessment.
HSMC do not lecture and do not give a list of what to do and what not to do. The aim of the fire training is to make people more fire-aware, to realise just how readily and how fast fires develop and why the safeguards are provided. By utilising this approach they will modify their behaviours far more effectively than is seen from simple instruction.
|
