Set in an adaptive learning format, this course begins with an upfront assessment to help identify areas of weakness. The assessment then helps tailor the course to the learner’s needs. This course highlights the importance of understanding how fires start and spread, in order to identify fire hazards, prevent fires and maintain escape routes. It details the actions that should be taken on discovering a fire or on hearing a fire alarm and explains further action that can be taken in an emergency.

Learning objectives

• Outline the causes of fires and how they spread
• Recognise the role you can play in the prevention of fires
• Describe what to do if you discover a fire or hear an alarm in your workplace
• Identify your responsibilities to others during an evacuation

This is an adaptive course that can be taken as a refresher for learners that have previously taken the fire safety base course.
