About this course
Emergencies are rare, which is exactly why workplaces are often unprepared for them. A fire, gas leak, flood or medical collapse gives you minutes, not days. This course helps you build a simple, lawful system that works when it is needed: a plan, trained people, clear escape routes, tested alarms and lighting, regular drills and good records.
