Fire Safety Course

Fire is the most common hazard for any workplace whether it is a large manufacturing plant or a processing plant or a high rise building full of employees or even a public place like a metro station or an airport or a mall.

It is a legal requirement for every employer to ensure that the workplace is safe from all fire hazards and the employees are well protected in case of any fire incident occurs.

Unfortunately, employers are sometimes unaware of their legal duties or are negligent towards it. Fire incidents may have huge consequences for the organization, apart from stoppage of work; it could also rise legal complications for the employer which can include huge fines and/ or imprisonment and even withdrawal of their license to operate the facility.

All these kinds of untoward incidences could be prevented, if place is provided with a fire control mechanism and employees have knowledge on firefighting.

This is where, adequate training on fire safety should be provided to the employees at regular intervals.
