Unit Standard (SAQA Reg.No 12484)
The course takes learners through the subject of fire on a step by step
basis, from initial basic knowledge on the ways fire develops, and what
can accelerate it, to more advanced modes of protection, including
what type of fire equipment should be applied to varying kinds of fire.
However, it’s important that you don’t stop there. Instead, it is hugely
beneficial to provide professional fire safety training for your staff, or
chosen designated employees, ensuring that they have the knowledge
to respond safely and effectively in the event of a fire.
Successful candidates credited with this unit standard are able to:
. Discuss and explain procedures for dealing with fires in the
workplace
. Identify the type of fire, its context and select the appropriate fire-
fighting procedures
