Ideal for individuals already engaged in the fields of safety management, facility management, or human resources, as well as those aspiring to build a career in occupational safety, this course offers an in-depth look into establishing a safer and more protected workplace environment. By gaining a firm grasp on OSHA’s fire safety requirements, participants will be equipped to implement robust emergency egress plans, detailed employee protection measures, and effective burn management protocols.

Workplace fires can pose significant threats and are often due to the inadequate execution of safety standards, commonly resulting from a lack of understanding of occupational safety best practices.

A pivotal part of the course is the emphasis on the development and implementation of a comprehensive emergency egress plan, ensuring employees can safely exit the building during a fire event.
