It covers fire evacuation, the evacuation assembly areas, firefighting precautions, the firefighting equipment procedure and how to use a fire extinguisher, with a guide to which extinguisher suits each class of fire.

An incident and near miss reporting form is included, for recording what happened, the contributing factors and the follow-up actions.
