| To make workplaces safer, every effort must be made to reduce the chances of fire starting and the first step in achieving this is to raise the awareness of staff. Not only to the danger from fire, but just how easily they can start. While the exact causes of fire may vary in most cases they can be attributed to human error. Learn - Don't Burn is about preventing fires in the workplace and the vitally important role that staff play in making sure that a fire cannot start on a day to day basis. The programme begins by pointing out that preventing fires does not require any special skills, just a bit of common sense. Remember, fire can threaten the existence of your business and may cost peoples lives. A large proportion of businesses that suffer a fire never open their doors again! Your staff are your most valuable asset in the fight against fire. Some of the subjects that are covered in Learn - Don't Burn include: Chemistry of Fire. The Fire Triangle
