CIEH Level 1 Award in Fire Safety Awareness

Introduction

This course is designed to help employees recognise fire safety issues in the workplace, and understand how to react when the fire alarm sounds.

Who will benefit?

This qualification will benefit anyone in a work environment as it provides candidates with an understanding of the key principles of fire safety, including measures to prevent fires occurring and actions to be taken in the event that a fire does break out.
