A fire in a healthcare facility puts patients who cannot move on their own at particular risk. This course prepares staff to prevent fires, respond quickly and calmly, and help evacuate patients safely when every minute counts.
You will learn how fires start and spread, how to use the right extinguisher, and how evacuation works in wards, clinics and critical care areas, with practical guidance you can apply in your own facility.
