US12484 FIRE LEVEL 2 : Perform Basic Fire Fighting – (Cr4, L2, 2days, face to face)

 

WHAT IS THIS LEVEL 2 FIRE COURSE ALL ABOUT

The Safety, Health and Environmental Regulations, Section 5.2 – the relevant and applicable law in South Africa – requires an employer to provide sufficient fire fighting equipment and safety rules to keep their employees safe. According to the legislation stipulates that at least 1 out of 50 employees in an organisation must have basic fire fighting skills. In the event of a fire, there must be someone who is trained and knows how to react without causing panic. Employers need to ensure that all employees know what to do in the case of a fire. This includes the following:

  1. Regular fire drills to confirm that all staff know what to do and where to go in the shortest time possible.
  2. Basic fire fighting skills must be provided, such as how to put out an electrical fire as opposed to flames caused by oil. Employees should also have basic instruction on how to operate fire extinguishers and hoses.
  3. Evacuation procedures and notifying fire and emergency services.
  4. Keeping windows and doors closed as far as possible to contain the fire.

The skills, values and knowledge reflected in this unit standard are thus required by people in the field of basic fire fighting. The learning outcomes in this unit standard also contribute to the exit level outcomes required for various basic fire fighting. Qualifying learners can select and use the appropriate firefighting equipment to extinguish or control fires in the workplace.
