Introduction to Fire Safety will make you more knowledgeable about fire safety for at home and in the workplace. It will teach you about emergency planning and preparedness and to understand fire behavior within its incipient stage.
Fire prevention is critical. For employers that require workers or emergency response teams to manage incipient stage fires (Stage 1 or Initial Onset), there is a requirement to provide fire extinguisher training.
Currently, only the Simulated Fire Safety courses are offered at our training facility. Courses are available as group bookings only and are subject to facility availability. At this time we do not offer courses to individual participants.
The Ontario Fire Code requires employers to ensure fire safety prevention measures are in place in every business establishment.
A fire safety plan is a document that informs building occupants about fire prevention, as well as proper procedures should a fire start, or an incident that requires the building to be evacuated.
