Fire Drill Safety Rules

Whenever a fire breaks out, it’s vital to get as far away from it as possible. Being surrounded by fire could not only cause burns on the skin but there’s a strong possibility that you’ll breathe in smoke and soot which can also have detrimental effects. It’s wise to prepare for a fire and plan some sort of fire escape route so that if a fire does occur, you know how to get away from it. Finding all exits and even labeling them is a great way to maximize your chances of getting to safety. To find out how to label exits correctly, read on here!

If you somehow find out that someone is in danger and their life could be at risk, waiting for the paramedics to arrive might not be the first thing on your mind (even though it is the recommended move). In such scenarios, having GWO basic fire awareness safety training (find out more about GWO courses), could come in very handy. Qualified trainers from HFR Solutions and similar organizations could help you get the right GWO training.
