Fire safety: use of small extinguishiers
Fire safety with small extinguishers (in-company)
Is your staff prepared for emergencies? Do they know how to effectively fight a sudden fire or when and how to use the right extinguishing agents? And perhaps more importantly, how could the fire have been prevented?
It is essential that every employee has basic knowledge of firefighting because, according to the Codex Book 3 Title 3 of Well-being at Work, every employer must establish a firefighting service any number of employees present in the company.
This approach ensures that at least one person is always available to intervene in the event of a fire incident, and also allows the size and resources of the firefighting service to be tailored to the specific fire risks within the company.
Duration
The training can be given in
4 hours (half a day) or 8 hours (full day) and takes place on one day at your company.
Certificate of participation
After the training, we provide a certificate of participation for all participants.
Price
4h: €1570 excl. VAT (total) plus travel expenses per training day
for a maximum of 15 participants.

Prevom operates a fair and transparent policy for its training courses – so there are no hidden or additional costs.
Both professional and private customers always receive a valid VAT invoice.
In the event of a no-show or cancellation by the client, the registration fee or invoice amount remains fully payable. The same applies when the customer requests to reschedule the appointment date within a period of two weeks prior to the scheduled appointment. The customer has the right to reschedule the training once free of charge, provided that this request is made at least two weeks prior to the scheduled date.

We make every effort to ensure that no examination or training session is ever cancelled by Prevom. However, if cancellation becomes necessary due to exceptional reasons or extreme circumstances, you will be notified by phone or email.
In the event of a cancellation by Prevom, the registration fee will be fully refunded, without any additional compensation beyond the initial amount paid at the time of booking.
If, on the day of training, it is determined that the practice cannot be conducted safely, we reserve the right to discontinue the training without refunding the amount due.
