Course Overview
Fire Safety
Preventing, Detecting, and Controlling Fire Risk in Buildings and Plants
Fire safety fails when people understand equipment but not fire behavior, or codes but not occupants. This course connects combustion science and compartment fire dynamics to practical risk assessment, compartmentation, detection and suppression design, escape planning and post-incident investigation, so professionals can defend a building's fire strategy end to end.
What You Will Learn
The main objectives of the course are:
- Explain the fire triangle, tetrahedron and combustion process.
- Interpret compartment fire dynamics, flashover and smoke movement.
- Identify ignition sources, fuels and fire loads.
- Conduct a five-step fire risk assessment.
- Apply the hierarchy of fire prevention controls.
- Account for occupant behavior and vulnerable people.
- Specify compartmentation, fire doors and passive protection.
- Evaluate detection, alarm and sprinkler systems.
- Select and site portable extinguishers correctly.
- Design means of escape and evacuation strategies.
- Investigate fires for origin, cause and lessons.
- Audit and lead a fire safety management program.
Who Should Enroll
This certificate is designed for fire safety officers, HSE and facilities managers, fire wardens and incident controllers, building and MEP engineers, hotel and healthcare safety staff, insurance and risk surveyors, civil defense liaison personnel, and consultants preparing fire risk assessments.
