Awareness is the key to prevention.

Everyone at work has a duty to prevent fires. A fire safety culture is based on a shared set of positive attitudes, knowledge, perceptions and beliefs about fire prevention and fire protection.

Fire safety training helps provide a basis for developing a culture of fire safety and prevention among the workforce.

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 Behavior of Fire

• Fire Safety Management

Fire Safety Management is therefore comprised of three essential elements:

• Fire Prevention

• Fire Protection

• Fire Suppression
