WHAT DOES THIS PRACTICAL EVACUATION TRAINING COVER?
In the event of a fire, the employer's first and greatest concern is the safety of their staff.
Using an evacuation plan, we learn to evacuate the building quickly and safely.
The employer must organise an evacuation drill at least once a year!
In this course, we set up an evacuation plan correctly, carry it out and then evaluate it. And hopefully it goes wrong, because that's what you learn the most from!
