Fire Safety — First-Response Fire Team Member
One day so that your designated fire team members know how to react in the first minutes of a fire: raise the alarm, choose the right extinguisher, attack the fire without putting themselves at risk and help the evacuation. Theory is short; the afternoon is devoted to live-fire exercises with extinguishers and to your procedures, on your site, with equipped partner trainers.

Frequently asked questions
Where do the live-fire exercises take place?
On an outdoor area of your site, clear and away from stores and buildings. We check the location with you before the session and warn the teams to avoid a false alarm.
What is the difference between first and second response?
The first-response team member acts in the first minutes with the extinguishers close at hand. The second-response team member belongs to an established team, uses heavier means and acts while waiting for the public fire service: that is the subject of a separate two-day course.
How often should the training be repeated?
The frequency is set in your training plan, taking into account the requirements of your insurer and your customers and staff turnover. Regular on-site drills keep reflexes sharp between two sessions.
Who should be appointed as a team member?
People who are permanently present in each area and on each shift, including at night: team leaders, line operators, storekeepers. Security guards are often good candidates, because they know the premises and are present when the site is running at a slower pace.
