Course Description
This course is designed to form part of the mandatory basic safety
training for all seafarers with designated safety duties. It deals
with the precautions to be taken to minimise the risk of fires aboard
ships, the way in which fires are caused and the first aid means
of extinguishing them.
The course includes practical training in the use of fire extinguishers,
hoses and other fire fighting equipment. It also covers the use
of breathing apparatus for fire fighting and rescue purposes.
The theory sessions are conducted by experienced master mariners
followed by practical exercises on the fire ground and in a multi-storey
steel fire unit fitted with simulated shipboard compartments, which
is used for live fire training.
