Essential Fire Safety Training

Discover how combustion is an exothermic reaction between a fuel and an oxidizer via heat, producing fire and exhaust gases, sustaining the chain reaction until fuel or oxygen runs out.

Explore the four main fire extinguishers (water, foam, CO2, and powder) and how each targets heat, fuel, or oxygen, with guidance on use and limitations for electrical and liquid fires.

Activate the emergency response for a fire by raising the alarm at the red fire alarm call point and calling nine nine nine directly.

Evacuate promptly, do not delay or block exits, and avoid lifts; use open stairs and stay low in smoke. Proceed to assembly area and assist elderly and people with disabilities.

Fight the fire only if trained and the fire is small and contained, stand two to three meters away, and pull the pin, aim at the base, squeeze, and sweep.

Learn to create a simplified risk assessment with a table showing hazards, people at risk, risk level, and improvements for fire safety.

Conduct ongoing risk assessments, report or fix defects, protect vulnerable people during evacuations, and keep a calm head to navigate emergencies.
