Refresh skills and competency in fighting and containing fires.
ERGT’s Fire Fighting Operations Skills Maintenance training course is designed to ensure competency and capability in mining emergency response teams to safely combat incidents involving fighting and containing fires.
Fire fighting is a vital skill in mining emergency response teams due the use of heavy equipment, explosives, and other hazardous materials, which can increase the risk of fires. In addition, the remote location and environment of mining can make fires particularly challenging to control and extinguish.
