Course Overview

Fire in a workplace isn’t just a possibility—it’s a constant risk that demands preparation. Each year, workplace fires cause hundreds of deaths, thousands of injuries, and billions in property damage. In healthcare facilities, offices, manufacturing plants, and commercial spaces, fires place employees, visitors, patients, and operations in immediate danger. The difference between tragedy and safe evacuation often comes down to one factor: whether employees know what to do when fire strikes.

Most people never experience a workplace fire, which creates a false sense of security. When fire does occur, panic, confusion, and hesitation cost precious seconds. Employees who don’t know evacuation routes freeze in place. Those unfamiliar with fire extinguisher use make critical mistakes. Facilities without practiced evacuation plans create bottlenecks at exits. And fires spread faster than most people realize—a small fire can become life-threatening in minutes.

This comprehensive training course prepares all employees to prevent fires, respond effectively when fires occur, and evacuate safely. Employees learn fire prevention measures that reduce ignition risks, understand egress routes and evacuation procedures specific to their workplace, know the components and requirements of Emergency Action Plans, master the proper use of portable fire extinguishers including the PASS method, apply the RACE protocol for fire response (Rescue, Alarm, Contain, Extinguish/Evacuate), and understand their specific roles during fire emergencies. The goal is ensuring every employee can act decisively to protect themselves and others when seconds matter most.
