What is fire safety awareness?
Fire safety awareness can be defined as management activities undertaken to prevent fires from occurring, the controls that manage fire systems in emergencies and in the event of an uncontrolled fire, the fire safety training suppression methods used to extinguish it.
Fire safety awareness is an attitude, an attitude that incorporates the understanding of four basic areas which are:
-
The Nature of Fire
-
The Causes of Fire
-
The Behaviour of Fire
-
Fire Safety Management
Fire Safety Management is therefore comprised of three essential elements:
-
Fire Prevention
-
Fire Protection
-
Fire Suppression
Included in the program:
-
A simple scientific explanation of fire
-
Identification of common workplace hazards associated with fires
-
Fire behaviour characteristics, which include the following five principles:
-
Fire must obey physical laws
-
Where there’s fire there’s smoke
-
It is the vapour that burns
-
Oxygen increases fire intensity
-
The principle of cooling, smothering and starving
-
This program looks at each of these elements in some detail and concludes with identifying oxygen deprivation as the major cause of fire related deaths.
Who it’s for:
This program is aimed at all personnel to increase the general level of fire awareness.
