Fire Prevention Safety

Fire Prevention Safety

In Australia there are 6000 workplace fires and explosions each year, leaving more than 16 people dead and 400 injured, as well as causing as much as $2 billion in property damage. The buildings that are destroyed by fire can be replaced, but human life cannot. To save their lives and the lives of their co-workers, employees must know the proper procedures for preventing fires, in addition to the correct response actions to take in the event of a fire.  Topics covered include:

·   Steps to prevent fires

·   Classes of fires and the appropriate extinguisher to be used on them

·   Proper use of fire extinguishers and water hoses

·   Emergency and evacuation procedures to be taken in the event of a fire
