Fire Fighting Training and Prevention
Fire Fighting Training
It’s a fact that fire kills hundreds of people every year in South Africa. As a result, it is important to have the relevant skills in place to ensure that the correct decisions are made in a fire emergency situation.
South African law requires that at least 1 out of 50 people in an organisation or company needs to have basic firefighting skills. This will assist in ensuring that in an event of a fire, there will be someone who knows how to react without causing panic or endangering any one’s life.
The Fire Fighting Training was designed to equip employees with basic firefighting skills and fire prevention knowledge. We offer Basic Fire Fighting and Prevention, Advanced Fire Fighting and Prevention and Emergency Evacuation Procedure courses.
First Aid Training
The Occupational Health and Safety Act require employers to make adequate first aid training available for their employees.
Employees who are the elected to be first aid representatives are required to attend accreted first aid training where they will be trained and accessed. In an emergency situation in the workplace, the first aid representative will be able to react, treat and deal with the situation in a calm and safe manor.
