About this course
Fire Safety and Emergency Response gives delegates a structured, practical understanding of fire science and fire hazards and fire prevention and protection systems, then builds the skills to apply emergency response planning, evacuation and drills and incident command in real work. HSE training courses on risk assessment, investigation, audit and safety leadership for high-hazard industries and every workplace.
Sessions are led by practitioners with at least 15 years in the field, and mix short input with exercises, case studies and group work, so delegates return with methods they can use straight away.
