When it comes to fire safety in the workplace, everyone has a shared responsibility to ensure that major incidents can be avoided. However, this requires a dedicated approach to risk management across all levels of an organisation.
Anyone assigned fire safety responsibilities, including managers, supervisors, and employees, has a duty of care for those around them. Despite this, many of these individuals lack sufficient Fire Safety and Awareness training.
By completing this Fire Safety training, individuals can become more attentive towards hazards in the workplace and ultimately save lives.
