Did you know we do fire courses?

The next edition starts on Wednesday 5th April, and is a must for anyone needing to undertake a fire risk assessment.

The course is a specialist five-day course, undertaken on a frequency of one day per week.

The course will build upon the knowledge and understanding of fire in construction and enhance the technical skills of the delegate, who already has a working knowledge of the industry and aims to ensure that they use all of these competencies to think as a “fire risk assessor” and review their site with respect to Life Safety.

🟢 We have been providing training since 1952, when the London Building & Engineering Contractors Accident Prevention Group was established.

No snowmen for us in Chertsey this week - thankfully most of our delegates got to us in time this week for the start of their courses despite the snow overnight in Chertsey - sadly by the time we got in and opened up most of the snow had melted - this was all that was left! ❄️
