This module will introduce you to the content of the course and online training. At the end of the module, you will be given an example of the kind of test you will take during your training.

'Know your enemy' as the old saying goes. This module is designed to give a deeper understanding of what fire actually is. It covers how fires start, how they continue to burn, what the fire triangle is and how to break it. The module also reviews how fires spread in buildings and the presence of hazardous materials that may need special attention due to their fire risks.

When it comes to fire safety, the law is very clear and the penalties for making mistakes can be costly and may even result in imprisonment in some cases. This module looks at the parts of the law you need to know and how it relates to you and others.

Your workplace will have created a fire risk assessment detailing the potential hazards from fire. This module is an overview of fire risk assessments and the role they play in overall fire protection.

This is where we focus on the practical application of fire safety. We see what fire safety procedures should be in place, how to identify possible fire incidents, what methods of escape should be available and their importance. The module also outlines the array of mandatory fire safety signs that need to be displayed and the variety of fire safety detection and warning systems that may exist in the workplace.

Hopefully, you will never need to use a fire extinguisher in a live emergency but if you do then it is vital that you know the right extinguisher to use and the correct procedure for using it. Another fire safety device that may be seen in the workplace is the fire blanket, in this module we investigate when it may be used.

This module is your final assessment, which consists of scenarios, multiple choice questions, and true or false decisions. 

The aim of this module is to assess your level of knowledge following the completion of the Fire safety course.
