Fire Awareness Training, Page 2223 Reviews

Very informative, probably needs doing annually to keep staff up-to-date and fresh.

iHasco's Fire Awareness in the Workplace is an excellent, highly informative and very well presented training programme - ideal for organisations with an ever-shrinking training budget.

a very useful and easy to use interactive teaching package. in my case a time saver designed around my needs.

I found it useful and clear, but there is a lot to remember about fire extinguishers. A more practical course would be beneficial in that respect.

Lots of information given, but not necessarily all needed by the average company employee. Sadly, there is an error of inconsistency in the data given. There is a table of extinguishers vs fire types, with an "X" for Dry Powder extinguishers and Class 'D' fire - ie not to be used. When Dry Powder extinguishers are later explained, it clearly shows they are for Class A,B,C AND 'D'. So, we are left not knowing whether a Dry Powder extinguisher can be used for a Class D fire or not.

It presents information in order in an interesting and memorable way, and tests retention well. I didn't like the sequences with the fire officer talking to camera. Otherwise an excellent programme and a nice experience

I was asked to complete the training by my company. When i first saw the listed arears i had to cover I thought it was going to be very time consuming but as I went through it i found it incredible interesting. I began noticing where different signs were in the building amd what fire extingishers were in our reception area.

The programme enlightened me of the awareness of fire safety procedures and was very imforative. ,

I've done quite a few training programmes of this type and this was better than most because there was quite a good mix of video, text and graphics, and these connected well. In other programmes you tend to get chunks of one or the other rather than the mixed presentation style here.There was one test question which I felt was invalid - where I was asked to state which fire type related to the letter 'B'. This isn't really what anyone needs to know in the event of a fire, and it would be better to ask a question about the nature of the fire types e.g. which material is / isn't part of a main fire type

I think it is unlikely that many people would remember all the detail in the training session. I think the majority of people would benefit more - and remember more - from a less detailed training session. In addition, I do not understand why it was necessary to book time out of my day to go into a room to complete this training and assessment. It could have been done from my desk at a time of my choosing, when I was less busy. Also, there were questions at the end that were not covered in the training session and, although the answers were simply common sense, it was not a true measure of what had been learnt.
