The purpose of this training guide is to:
Fires are the cause of 90% of all property losses in South Africa. It is good to be ready if a fire breaks out but studies have proven that only 3% of all fires that occur have been successfully prevented from progressing out of control by the use of handheld fire extinguishers.
It makes thus good sense to rather concentrate on fire prevention techniques than on fire fighting techniques.
This manual will attempt to maintain a balance in addressing both fire prevention and basic fire fighting techniques. It is however not intended to train professional firefighters.
Who should attend:
- Employees
- Domestic workers
- Students
