Fire Awareness Training That Could Save Lives and Protect Your Business
When a fire breaks out in the workplace, every second counts. The difference between a minor incident and a devastating catastrophe often comes down to one critical factor: whether your team knows how to respond. At Ambu Training, our comprehensive fire awareness training equips employees with the essential knowledge and practical skills to prevent fires, identify hazards early, and respond effectively when emergencies strike.
Why Fire Awareness Training Is Essential In South Africa
Fire safety isn't just good practice, it's a legal requirement under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993. It is recommended that at least one out of every 50 employees must have basic firefighting skills, ensuring someone trained is available to respond without causing panic or endangering lives during an emergency.
Beyond compliance, proper fire preparedness protects lives, prevents catastrophic losses, and ensures business continuity across all industries, from mining and manufacturing to offices and retail environments.

What Our Fire Awareness Training Covers
Ambu Training's one-day fire awareness course provides comprehensive coverage of fire safety essentials, combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on practical experience. Our training programme addresses the fundamental aspects of fire behaviour, prevention, and emergency response that every workplace needs.
Who Should Attend Fire Awareness Training?
Fire safety is everyone's responsibility, but certain roles carry specific obligations. All employees should understand basic fire safety, including how to operate fire extinguishers and fire hoses, recognize different fire types, and follow evacuation procedures.

Fire Wardens & Fire Marshals
Designated fire wardens or fire marshals require this training as a minimum foundation for their responsibilities. These individuals will lead evacuation efforts, conduct fire drills, maintain fire safety equipment, and serve as the primary point of contact during fire emergencies. Their training must be thorough and regularly refreshed.
Health & Safety Officers & Facility Managers
Health and safety officers, facility managers, and anyone responsible for workplace safety compliance should attend fire awareness training. Understanding fire risks, prevention strategies, and response procedures is essential for developing and implementing effective fire safety programmes.
Personnel in High-Risk Environments
In high-risk environments—manufacturing plants, warehouses, chemical facilities, construction sites, and anywhere involving hot work, flammable materials, or complex machinery—fire awareness training should be considered essential for all personnel. The specific risks in these environments demand heightened awareness and specialized knowledge.
