Fire Extinguisher
It is probable there will be less damage to people, property and the process of business if a fire is detected early and dealt with promptly. To effectively use a fire extinguisher you must understand fire, its causes, what it needs to begin, how it develops and the best method for extinguishment.
To do this we have constructed our course to meet the stringent NZQA standard. If your organisation wishes to have their staff assessed to this unit we can accommodate that need.
