Unit 2: enables learners to explore the three components that make up the 'Triangle of Fire' so that they understand what can cause materials to combust under certain conditions. The unit explains who is responsible for fire safety and includes several activities requiring learners to identify potential fire hazards in their work place and challenges them to suggest how to minimise the risks.
Unit 3: provides information and descriptions of the different types of fire warning systems learners may encounter in their work place. The unit provides examples of potential dangers and other problems that can be caused by false alarms and recommends ways of dealing with them. Learners also benefit from detailed descriptions of the different types of fire extinguishers, how to identify them and what type of fire each one should be used on. The unit concludes by providing guidance on how to take appropriate action in the event of a fire.
Unit 4: describes the responsibilities of the fire warden in the work place. These include carrying out routine checks of fire safety equipment, signage and exits as well as ensuring that all staff and visitors to the building know exactly what the safety procedures are.
