Fire safety is an important issue for everyone in the UK. Homes and businesses need to develop fire safety plans to ensure that everyone stays safe. These plans should contain information on how to safely handle and use a fire extinguisher; as they can be difficult to use. It is important that you understand how to use one and how to tackle a blaze; to keep you; your property and your loved ones safe. This course provides a comprehensive guide to fire extinguisher use and other ways to stay safe in an emergency.
