Certified Through SGS and SAAC, Built Around NFPA 1001

EUTC Global's Basic Fire Fighting Training is certified through SGS and SAAC, and built around the fire safety principles in NFPA 1001 and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.156, the standards most Saudi industrial employers reference. The course lines up with Saudi Civil Defense fire safety expectations, so your team's certificate holds up on Aramco vendor sites, EPC contracts and general industrial worksites across the Kingdom.

What Is Basic Fire Fighting Training?

Basic Fire Fighting Training (BFFT) teaches fire safety, prevention and firefighting technique to anyone who could face a fire at work. It matters most for high-risk industries, safety officers and fire marshals, but honestly every workplace benefits. The goal is simple: build the knowledge and the muscle memory to control a fire early and respond without freezing when it matters.

🔥

Fire Behaviour and Principles

Understand how fires start, spread and get classified. The science behind fire is what lets your team respond intelligently instead of guessing.

🪠

Firefighting Equipment

Hands-on practice with fire extinguishers, hoses, fire blankets and sprinkler systems, the way they will actually be used in a real incident.

🚨

Emergency Response

Evacuation drills, emergency procedures and burn first aid, so your team builds real confidence before they ever need it.

Why Organisations in KSA Choose EUTC Global

Real hands-on drills, multilingual instructors, and a certificate built around standards that hold up on serious worksites.

SGS and SAAC Certified

Certificates issued through SGS and SAAC, built around NFPA 1001 principles, so your team's card holds real weight on Saudi industrial sites.

Common Causes of Workplace Fires

Workplace fires do not usually come out of nowhere. Damaged electrical equipment sparks fires when it is not properly maintained. Flammable materials like paper, chemicals and cooking oils catch and spread fast. Careless disposal of smoking materials, or simply not following safety procedures, causes more incidents than people expect. This is exactly why Basic Fire Fighting Training matters for every workplace, not just high-risk ones.

Electrical Hazards

Damaged or poorly maintained electrical equipment is one of the leading causes of workplace fires across KSA industries.

🧪

Flammable Materials

Improper storage or handling of flammable chemicals, LPG, cooking oils and similar substances can ignite fast and spread faster.

Human Error

Not following fire safety procedures, or careless disposal of smoking materials, remains one of the biggest risk factors on site.

What the Course Covers

Four modules, moving from theory into hands-on response, built for real Saudi worksites.

1

Introduction to Fire Safety

Basic principles of fire, sources of ignition and heat, static electricity, fuel classification, heat transmission, and the causes and effects of workplace fires.

2

Fire Prevention and Spread Control

Minimising fire risk, LPG fire behaviour, safe storage of flammable liquids, cooking oil and fat hazards, and electrical equipment safety.

3

Fire Alarm Systems and Equipment

Heat detectors, smoke and fire detectors, and every type of firefighting equipment, including how to correctly select and use a fire extinguisher.

4

Workplace Evacuation Procedures

Means of escape, the fire marshal's role, assembly points, firefighting rules, what to do if clothing catches fire, burn first aid, and using firefighting apparatus.

Learning Objectives

Understand fire safety rules and how to stay compliant with workplace fire safety standards.

Build the confidence to handle fire conditions calmly, cutting panic and improving reaction time.

Learn fire prevention and hazard identification to reduce the chance of an outbreak in the first place.

Prepare for a range of emergencies, including rescues and hazardous material incidents.

Get real hands-on time with extinguishers, hoses, fire blankets and sprinkler systems.
