- To understand the physiology of respiration in humans and the effect of fire and smoke on this respiration physiology. Additionally, the student should become familiar with the essential elements BA set and its use
- To be conversant with the methods of fire prevention and protection
- To understand the principles of fire detection, the various fire detection systems available. Fundamental knowledge in fire alarm systems will also be gained.
- To be familiar with fire extinguishing methods as well as firefighting techniques
- To know the cause of road traffic accidents; to understand the relevance of road safety and some simple road safety techniques that could be adopted
- To understand what a safe driving policy is, its content and how it can be developed
A platform for Environmental and Safety Engineering students to access their results.
