Cork Safety Services provides practical fire safety training for businesses across Cork and Munster. The course helps employees understand workplace fire risks, follow emergency procedures and use fire extinguishers safely when appropriate. Training combines clear theory with practical instruction, giving participants the knowledge and confidence to respond correctly in the event of a fire. Sessions can be delivered at your workplace or at our Cork premises, with flexible scheduling available to reduce disruption to your business.
Participants learn the basic principles of fire safety, including how fires can start and spread, common workplace fire hazards and the importance of prevention. The course also explains the different classes of fire and the types of extinguishers used for each situation. Practical extinguisher training is included so participants can become familiar with correct handling and use in a controlled environment. The course also covers when it may be appropriate to use an extinguisher and when evacuation should take priority.
This course is suitable for employees, supervisors and managers in offices, warehouses, production facilities, retail premises and other workplaces where fire extinguishers are provided. It is also useful for organisations that want to include practical fire awareness within their wider employee training programme.
We understand that releasing staff for training during normal working hours is not always practical. Cork Safety Services offers on-site training and flexible scheduling, including morning, evening and weekend sessions where available. Our training courses are delivered in a practical, easy-to-follow format and can be arranged for small groups or company bookings.
Along with that, we provide other workplace safety courses to help businesses improve employee safety awareness. Our Manual Handling Training helps employees learn safer ways to lift, carry, and move loads at work. We also offer Safe Pass training for workers who need safety awareness training for construction work, along with Fire Warden Training to help designated staff understand their fire safety duties and emergency procedures. These courses complement fire safety training and help businesses promote a safer working environment.
