Description

Fire hazards are prevalent in organizations and homes. Fortunately, with appropriate knowledge and skills, you will be able to implement fire hazard control and management principles that will help you to protect organizations, homes and most importantly, people from fires. This course introduces basic fire safety principles and practices. The course covers various topics, from the basics of how fires start and grow to managing and controlling fires. You will learn about the fire tetrahedron, detectors (smoke, heat, and flame detectors), suppression systems (extinguishers, sprinklers, hydrants, standpipes, firewalls, and fire doors), and administrative fire control measures (inspection and maintenance, training and education, emergency procedures). You will also understand the basic principles involved in evacuations and the importance of inspecting fire safety systems and devices. Organizational managers, supervisors, owners, safety committee members and safety-conscious employees can benefit from taking this course. The course also covers principles that would help students prepare for the Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) examination (Board of Global Credentialing/American Board of Industrial Hygienist) and the ASP (Associated Safety Professional) and CSP (Certified Safety Professional) examination (Board of Certified Safety Professional).
