Fire Extinguisher Courses

In the event of a fire in the workplace, it is essential that everyone understands the correct fire extinguisher to use for different fires types, and how to use them effectively and safely in an emergency situation.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires that employers provide staff with fire safety "information, instruction and guidance".

Detect Fire and Security offers fire extinguisher training courses that comply with the Order, and are designed to provide staff with greater awareness of the threat posed by fire to people, property and businesses.

• Fire extinguisher identification
