Training is available through scheduled public classes or onsite at your workplace for a minimum number subject to location and scheduling. Learners who successfully complete the required assessment receive a certificate of competence.

The course is suitable for employees, workplace fire marshals and other staff who may be required to respond to an incipient-stage fire or assist with workplace emergency procedures. It covers basic fire prevention, identification of different types of fires and hazards, emergency procedures, fire-fighting equipment and practical fire-extinguishing procedures.

FTS Safety provides occupational health and safety training to businesses across South Africa, with training available in Johannesburg and other major cities. We can also arrange onsite training for companies that prefer to train multiple employees at their own workplace.

Fire Prevention Course Overview

What You Learn During Fire Prevention Training

FTS Safety’s Fire Prevention Training Level 1 gives learners practical knowledge and skills to help prevent workplace fires and respond appropriately when a fire occurs. The course combines theory with practical training so learners understand both fire safety principles and how to respond during an emergency.

Fire Prevention Training Covers:

• Identifying workplace fire hazards and conditions that could cause or contribute to a fire.
• Understanding basic fire behaviour, including how fires start, develop and spread.
• Identifying different types of fires and understanding why different fires require different firefighting methods.
• Fire prevention principles, including practical measures that can reduce the likelihood of workplace fires.
• Emergency response procedures and the actions employees should take when a fire is identified.
• Evacuation procedures, including the importance of following workplace emergency plans and designated evacuation routes.
• Basic firefighting equipment, including understanding the purpose and appropriate use of common fire-fighting equipment.
• Selecting suitable firefighting equipment for different fire situations.
• Practical firefighting procedures, giving learners the opportunity to apply their knowledge in a controlled training environment.
• Safe response to an incipient-stage fire, including understanding when a fire may be safely approached and when evacuation and emergency assistance are required.
• Workplace fire safety responsibilities, helping learners understand their role in preventing fires and supporting an effective emergency response.

The aim is not simply to teach learners how to use a fire extinguisher. Learners develop a broader understanding of fire prevention, fire hazards, emergency procedures, evacuation and safe initial fire response within the workplace.

Course Content

The course is suitable for new learners as well as employees who require refresher fire safety training. Employers can also arrange onsite training when they need to train multiple employees at their workplace.

Fire Prevention Training can form part of an organisation’s broader occupational health and safety, fire risk management and emergency preparedness programme. The appropriate training requirements should be determined according to the employer’s workplace risks, emergency procedures and applicable legal requirements.
