Prevention Seminar in 2011. This Seminar, billed for Friday at the GNS Sports Complex, is being jointly conducted by the Guyana Fire Service {GFS} in collaboration with the Fire Advisory Board {FAB} and the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry {GCCI} .
It forms a major part of the public relations and education subcommittee programme of the Fire Advisory Board and closely follows the widespread activities conducted by the GFS for Fire Prevention Week earlier this month.
DOCOL has also readily agreed to donate the fire extinguishers for use at this Seminar. The major aim of this seminar is to sensitize the business community and raise awareness of the importance of fire prevention and general fire safety issues and is usually planned to be held in November every year so that the business community can prepare and adequately plan themselves for the busy Christmas season.
Among the proposed subject areas are Fire Prevention issues, Fire Safety and the business community, the role and responsibility of the business community in Fire Prevention, the chemistry of combustion, evacuation procedures, housekeeping, storage procedures and a practical demonstration on the use and operation of fire extinguishers.
The GFS will be responsible for the technical aspects of the programme delivery whilst the GCCI will be responsible for the registration of participants and for encouraging their members and the business community at large to participate in this important Seminar.
The handing over of this cheque was done on October 28, last, in the Boardroom of the Hand-in-Hand Mutual Fire and Life Insurance Companies’ Head office at lots 1-4 Avenue of the Republic, Georgetown.
