Fire safety: use of small extinguishiers
Fire safety: use of small extinguishing equipment (open session)
Are you prepared for emergencies? Do you know how to effectively tackle a sudden fire or when and how to use the right portable fire extinguishing equipment? And perhaps even more importantly: how could the initial fire have been prevented?
It is essential that every employee has basic knowledge of fire fighting & fire safety because according to the Codex Book 3 Title 3 of Well-being at Work, every employer must establish a fire-fighting 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 course lasts 4 hours and takes place on a single day.
Certificate of participation
Following the training, all participants will receive a certificate of attendance.
Price
€205 excluding VAT (total), plus travel expenses per person.
