Overview
Fire Extinguisher Awareness Seminar course overview
Forget long, dry lectures. Our industry-experienced trainers guide learners through the key elements of fire safety, including how fires start and spread, fire classes, and the different types of extinguishers and their uses. Participants build awareness of fire prevention, fire control measures, and how to recognise hazards in the workplace. The seminar includes a demonstration of how fire extinguishers are used, along with an overview of maintenance, inspection, and testing requirements, and how evacuation procedures fit within an effective fire response.
IMPAC’s focus is on building awareness of fire safety across the workplace. Participants leave with a clear awareness of fire extinguisher use, the importance of maintaining fire safety equipment, and how they can support safe evacuation and fire response procedures in their workplace.
