Fire Safety Awareness
Fire Safety Training
This fire safety awareness course is essential for all employees, and includes fire extinguisher use, fire prevention and fire protection measures.
In Irish workplace legislation, any employee that may be required to use a fire extinguisher must be trained in fire extinguisher use.

Course training options include:
- Classroom – local training room or onsite.

A practical demonstration and assessment of fire extinguisher use must be completed to gain a full 3 year certificate.

Controlling Fire Safety Risks
It is necessary to carry out a fire risk assessment before making an informed decision on what control measures need to be implemented. Employers must then take steps to avoid the risk of fire.
