Basic Firefighting including SCBA
PT Samson Tiara certified Basic Firefighting including SCBA training covering fire theory, fire triangle, fire classifications, extinguisher types and agents, extinguisher checks and maintenance, extinguishing techniques, hazardous atmospheres, SCBA use, and practical exercises in the smoke house and fire pad.
Overview
Basic Firefighting including SCBA is a PT Samson Tiara certified course designed for workers who may be exposed to fire hazards in the workplace. The course provides delegates with basic knowledge and practical skills in the use of handheld fire extinguishers and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) against basic fires.
The ability of a worker to respond effectively to a small fire can help prevent a minor incident from escalating into a major accident with significant damage, lost production time, and wider operational impact.
Classroom sessions cover basic fire theory, extinguisher capabilities and limitations, extinguisher operation, application techniques, recharge, and basic extinguisher maintenance. The course also covers SCBA types, maintenance, stowage, hazardous atmospheres, and basic SCBA use.
Practical exercises are conducted on the fire ground and include the use of various handheld extinguishers to fight Class A and Class B fires, along with practical exercises in the smoke house and fire pad.
