What's in the Training?

Our Maritime Basic Fire Fighting training course is Canada compliant, and our online version fulfills Canada's classroom training requirement.

This presentation includes intermittent practice quiz questions to prepare for the final written exam included with the course. In addition to the written exam, this course also includes a checklist for employers to use when administering a practical exam.

Though you will still need to familiarize yourself with all other applicable federal, state, provincial, territorial, and local standards, this training encompasses the following standards:

Canada Standards

  • SOR/2010-83 – Fire and Boat Drills Regulations
  • SOR/2017-14 - Vessel Fire Safety Regulations
  • SOR/2005-280 - Boat and Fire Drill and Means of Exit Regulations
  • C.R.C., c. 1422 - Fire Detection and Extinguishing Equipment Regulations

Why Do I Need Training?

In line with regulations, crew members aboard commercial vessels must receive training to ensure that employees know what to do in the event of an emergency involving a fire on board.

When it comes to refresher training, the standards in some instances are very specific: employees must be re-evaluated every three years to see if they still understand and can adhere to the standards and proper safety. Best practices say to apply this same rule to all types of training. A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer but should include a written and practical examination that prove continued competency.
