Fire prevention is a critical component of workplace safety. Understanding how fires start, recognizing hazardous conditions, and applying safe work practices dramatically reduces the risk of injuries and property damage. This course gives learners the knowledge needed to anticipate fire hazards, handle materials responsibly, and follow OSHA requirements for fire protection and emergency preparedness.
