Fire Safety & Building Evacuation Training

Diskin Fire have during the past year updated and streamlined our range of Fire Safety Training courses. These courses have been redesigned by Alan & David Diskin and are now presented in the Powerpoint format. They are designed in such a way as to make them suitable for adapting to any of our clients needs / requirements.

These courses are designed to give the participants a knowledge of the threat posed by fire, of fire prevention and fire fighting equipment and the procedure to be adopted should an outbreak of fire occur. The longer courses obviously give a more in depth coverage of these aspects.
