Fire and Egress
Course Overview
Fire and Egress is a critical safety-focused course designed to develop a clear and practical understanding of fire behavior, fire risks, and safe evacuation principles within buildings and project sites. The course goes beyond basic fire awareness to address how fire scenarios evolve, how people respond under emergency conditions, and how effective egress planning protects lives and assets.
At Charter Training Center, this course is positioned for professionals who recognize that fire safety and evacuation planning are not compliance checkboxes, but essential components of responsible design, construction, and facility operation.
Description
This course provides a structured and in-depth introduction to fire safety principles and egress planning within buildings and project environments. Participants will explore the fundamentals of fire dynamics, common causes of fires, and the factors that influence fire spread, smoke movement, and occupant safety.
The course places strong emphasis on evacuation planning, including exit design, travel distances, signage, human behavior during emergencies, and coordination during evacuation events. Through applied examples and scenario-based discussions, participants learn how to identify deficiencies in fire and egress arrangements and how to support safer environments through informed decision-making.
Delivered within Charter Training Center’s professional learning environment, the course equips participants with practical awareness and judgment that can be applied across design review, site supervision, facility management, and safety planning roles.
