Modern Fire Fighting and Suppression Systems Course
Introduction:
The industrial plant sector has a long history of devastating fire accidents, which have resulted in complete losses and, at times, brought businesses to a dramatic halt. The heightened impact of these fire incidents on both individuals and assets has necessitated organizations to implement modern and efficient firefighting and suppression systems. To address this need, our program has been developed to equip participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to successfully choose, oversee, and sustain an effective firefighting and suppression system.
