NCC Fire Safety

This Fire Safety short-course and assessment helps you to fulfil your obligation by providing your staff with the knowledge and understanding required to act safely in the event of a fire in the workplace.

Fire is the probably the biggest risk threat to life that most people face at work, with around 50 people being killed and over 2000 seriously injured every year. In order to minimise the risk of fire in the workplace, it is vital that everyone is aware of the common causes of fire and the appropriate actions to take in the event of a fire, including how to escape safely from the scene.
