What Is Basic Fire Fighting Training Malaysia All About?
Basic Fire Fighting Training is a workplace safety course that introduces employees to the fundamentals of fire prevention, fire behaviour, fire classifications and safe initial fire response.
Workplace fires can result in serious injuries, property damage and business interruption. Employees should therefore understand how fires develop, how to recognise potential fire hazards and what actions to take when a fire is discovered.
The training focuses on the correct selection and safe handling of portable fire extinguishers, including their applications and limitations.
Participants will also learn the importance of raising the alarm, maintaining a clear escape route and recognising situations where evacuation is safer than attempting to extinguish a fire.
