Firefighting
It is important to emphasise the significance of providing employees with basic firefighting training. In the event of a fire emergency, the initial actions taken by a trained firefighter in the first few crucial minutes can greatly impact the outcome. The proper handling of the situation can potentially contain the fire, preventing it from escalating into a fire emergency.

Some of the modules covered include the Fire Tetrahedron, common causes of fires, different classes of fires and the appropriate fire extinguishers to use, and roles and responsibilities of a fire warden.
