Fire safety – digital extinguishing
Knowing what to do in case of fire is vital. But classic fire drills also have disadvantages because they require lot of space and involve fire and extinguishing residues. That is why this special training course was developed in which you extinguish LED flames using a laser extinguisher – just like the real thing and suitable for any space.

In case of fire, efficient action is vital. In addition to a fast evacuation, solid practical experience is also needed.
Since traditional training with a real fire causes smoke and extinguishing residue (powder or foam), we have a digital alternative. Using LED flames and a laser-guided infrared extinguisher, we prepare you for a real emergency situation.
You extinguish flames on a screen. We use real smoke or simulate it using special goggles. This lets us offer this training course anywhere, including in the workplace. Bad weather or a lack of space are no longer a problem.

What do you learn?
The training session takes half a day (4 hours) and consists of both theory and practical training.
Prefer the blended learning programme? In this case, you learn the theory with interactive simulations from Play it Safe.
For optimal interaction, this training course takes place with groups of a maximum of 12 participants.
The theoretical part covers the following topics:
Possible fire causes
Fire prevention techniques
Firefighting techniques
Development of an evacuation procedure
Organisation of evacuation exercises
During the practical part, you learn - digitally - how to fight a fire:
The flames appear on a digital screen and you work with a laser extinguisher that perfectly imitates the action of a real fire extinguisher. The flames respond as they would in real life.
The instructor adjusts the level of difficulty and provides continuous feedback, so that you can progress quickly.
And there is no need to clean up afterwards, as everything takes place digitally.
You also learn how to correctly use a fire blanket and move a victim.

For whom?
The training course is intended for members of the fire prevention service in companies with a limited fire risk, such as the distribution sector, volunteer organisations, office environments, retail, childcare and schools.
What does the law say?
Each company is legally required to have an in-house firefighting service. It consists of several employees who act efficiently in the event of a fire (hazard). The size of your organisation is irrelevant to this requirement.
A risk analysis determines how many employees the firefighting service must contain. This depends on your company size, type of business operations and the fire risk.
As an employer, you are legally obligated to provide members of the firefighting service with the necessary training. Raising awareness is important to inform all other employees of fire hazards, what to do in the event of a fire and how to evacuate.

Is het verplicht een brandbestrijdingsdienst op te richten?
Ja, elke werkgever is verplicht om een eigen brandbestrijdingsdienst te hebben.
Zo’n dienst bestaat uit een aantal medewerkers die efficiënt kunnen optreden bij brandgevaar. Hoeveel werknemers je hebt, speelt geen rol. Er moet altijd één persoon van de dienst aanwezig zijn.
Een risicoanalyse bepaalt uit hoeveel medewerkers zo’n brandbestrijdingsdienst bestaat: afhankelijk van de grootte van je bedrijf, het soort activiteiten en het brandrisico.
Wie moet een brandopleiding volgen in mijn organisatie?
Binnen elke organisatie moeten een aantal medewerkers efficiënt kunnen optreden bij brandgevaar, de brandpreventiedienst. De leden volgen een gerichte opleiding, met een theoretisch en een praktijk luik. Ze leren er meewerken aan een risicoanalyse, ingrijpen bij beginnende brand en een evacuatie correct en snel uit te voeren.
Alle overige werknemers moeten op de hoogte gebracht worden van mogelijke brandrisico’s, het alarmsignaal, wat te doen bij brand en hoe te evacueren.
As an employer, are you allowed to organise fire safety training yourself?
Yes, as an employer, you are allowed to organise fire safety training yourself. Please note, however, that you are then personally responsible for ensuring that the training is sufficiently in-depth and practical, and that the necessary refresher training is provided.
Prefer to be on the safe side? Mensura can take care of the training and all the associated organisation for you. This way, you can be sure of high-quality training delivered by experienced experts, with a course that is always up to date with the latest legislation.
