Introduction:
The concept of fire safety refers to precautions taken to prevent or minimize the possibility of a fire occurring that could lead to death, injury, or property damage. It involves alerting facility workers to the presence of a fire so that they can stop the fire threat for themselves and the environment, evacuate affected areas, and extinguish the fires or mitigate the damage caused by the fire. The “Firefighting and Safety Evacuation” course is designed for professionals involved in fire planning, response, and suppression. This course aims to protect lives, property, and the future of organizations. It familiarizes participants with fire-related concepts, the fire triangle, fire safety guidelines, and firefighting techniques based on the latest global practices and methodologies through practical training.
Program Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Manage and protect facilities from fire hazards.
2. Monitor and inspect fire protection requirements for buildings.
3. Develop fire incident response scenarios.
4. Study types of fires, explosions, and their causes.
5. Master fire handling rules and firefighting strategies.
6. Learn how to handle different emergencies and correct behavior.
7. Excel in emergency preparedness.
8. Identify sources of danger in buildings and how to secure them.
9. Implement safety procedures in case of a fire.
10. Excel in developing evacuation plans for administrative and industrial facilities.
11. Master general duties of rescue services.
