Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using one of our state-of-the-art simulators for applied fire risk assessment. Fire risk assessment is the foundation for all the fire precautions in the workplace. When considering fire risk assessment, it is useful to understand the definition of fire hazard. A fire hazard has two components balanced against each other, one is the possibility of a fire occurring and the other is the magnitude of consequences of that fire.
