Course Description

Firefighting is the act of extinguishing fires successfully. Firefighters' goals are to save lives, property and the environment. A fire can rapidly spread and endanger many lives; however, with modern firefighting techniques, catastrophe is usually, but not always, avoided. The primary risk to people in a fire are not the flames themselves, but rather smoke inhalation, which, contrary to popular belief, is the most common cause of death in a fire. The risks of smoke include: suffocation due to the fire consuming or displacing all of the oxygen from the air; poisonous gases produced by the fire as products of combustion & aspirating heated smoke that can burn the inside of the lungs and damage their ability to exchange gases during respiration.

Having a competent person managing a site/division/project is key to ensure legal compliance but also to implement a pro-active rather than re-active SHEQ management system. Having the confidence in ones’ ability to apply concepts such as risk assessment, applying management systems, doing proper incident investigations and applying the applicable legislation in the work place will enable the learner to manage Occupational Health and Safety.
